It is the classical form of war that states do with vehicles that are in their weapon inventories, that can be measured and that are not weapons of mass destruction.

Cross-Border Operations: In cross-border operations, it means that the armed forces of a country expand its fight against terrorist groups that threaten and target its country to include the territory of another country. Not only is it sending troops cross-border by land, air operations are also seen as cross-border operations. In short, operations carried out to continue the armed struggle with terrorist groups that pose a threat to their country beyond national borders are called cross-border operations.
