We are in an age when Nukes are the secondary, backup weapons, second to computer keystrokes. That seems strange to me, but I think it is true. Keystrokes can target a specific site, or destroy an entire nation's ability to produce weapons and keep its economy going. Soldiers fought wars of the past, and will possibly in the future, but computers can safely eliminate an enemy's ability to supply soldiers in the field of battle.
It's not just traditional battle, an enemy can disable another's economy from thousands of miles away and can be undetected for a long time or even forever. State run hackers have capabilities that are fantastic! They can shut down and enemy's economy and not have to put a soldier in the field of battle.
It is widely believed that the US and Israel developed the STUCKSNET virus that destroyed most if not all of the Iranian centrifuges and delayed or shut down the Iranian's nuclear capacity without putting one soldier in the field or harming a single Iranian citizen. I think hacking is the wave of the future.
