The key phrase in Wiki definition is "often not used".

Cóż, w tym wypadku wygląda na to że użycie jednej czy dwóch dywizji to własnie LIC.
George BuLah (X) Oct 27, 2014:
to, co - Putin - na słoniach przybyłby ;) ?

Jacek Kloskowski Oct 27, 2014:
Bo ten konflikt jest w/g Putina zdecydowanie jest "a low-intesity conflict" - jak powiedział, gdyby Rosja naprawdę chciałą podjąć "conventional war", to by była w dwa dni w Kijowie, w tydzień w Warszawie....:)
George BuLah (X) Oct 27, 2014:
fragment definicji LIC Artillery is often not used ...;
no to, jeśli - ograniczony konflikt RU-UA zawiera się w definicji LIC, to co - tym bardziej - tam robią BUK-i (?)

Sad but true. Thank you, Michał. Contained conflict also describes a conflict which does not spill over beyond its bounds.
agree Joanna Carroll : Not sure if everyone sees it like that though...

--------------------------------------------------

Low intensity conflict (LIC) is the use of military forces applied selectively and with restraint to enforce compliance with the policies or objectives of the political body controlling the military force. The term can be used to describe conflicts where at least one or both of the opposing parties operate along such lines.
