It determines the need to propose the main research problem in the form of the following problem question: What variants of threats should be expected in order to be able to effectively prepare for them, in terms of maintaining the existential security of the individual? On the basis of the previously formulated main problem, the author put forward a research hypothesis, which assumes that the leading inhibitor in adequate preparation for war is the underestimation of the actual appearance as a being that until recently was ancient, now eluding the methods of human perception. Verification of the above hypothesis and obtaining answers to the above questions required the use of research methods, including a critical analysis of selected items of literature on the subject, reliable Internet sources, as well as a comparative analysis, which allowed to draw the main conclusions.
