Inhoudsopgave
Wat betekent Psyops?
Psychologische oorlogvoering is het uitvoeren van acties om de vijand te ondermijnen zonder dat fysiek geweld gebruikt wordt. Het doel kan zijn het bangmaken van de vijand zodat deze niet meer terugvecht, of het beïnvloeden van de houding van een vijandige bevolking zodat die zich tegen de eigen leiders keert.
