Their characteristic features were the secrecy of actions until the moment of attack, the use of instruments of information warfare and espionage, the total character of military operations directed against the civilians, their material resources and economic infrastructure involving terrorist tactics and psychological methods of influence aimed at intimidating assaulted communities. The actions of Tatar hordes basically focused on non-military environment with the use of not only classic military tools but also combinations of political and economic means in the form of various economical and demographic pressures. Conducting asymmetric military actions was, for the Giray dynasty, one of the most important tools for the successful achievement of their political goals as well as for supporting the economy of the Crimean Khanate through a stable transfers of slaves and supply of stolen material goods.      VL - 2016 IS - Numer 143 (4) PY - 2016 SN - 0083-4351 C1 - 2084-4069 SP - 703 EP - 735 DO - 10.4467/20844069PH.16.036.5338 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/prace-historyczne/artykul/dzialania-asymetryczne-w-wojskowosci-tatarskiej-we-wczesnej-epoce-nowozytnej KW - działania asymetryczne KW - tatarska sztuka wojenna w epoce nowożytnej KW - przemoc zorganizowana KW - wojna wśród społeczeństw KW - południowo-wschodnie pogranicze Rzeczypospolitej
