Symmetric warfare, also known as conventional warfare, is the opposite of asymmetric warfare. In symmetric warfare, both sides are evenly matched in terms of military strength and weaponry, and each side is fighting for a specific cause or objective. This type of warfare often involves large-scale battles between state actors and conventional armies, and it typically follows established rules of engagement. Additionally, symmetric warfare usually takes place on a battlefield, whether in the air, on land, or at sea. Unlike asymmetric warfare, where one side is at a disadvantage and must resort to unconventional tactics and strategies to succeed, symmetric warfare relies on traditional military strategies and methods.
