The article reviews the development of the modern idea of Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) whose buds appeared after the First World War, matured during the Cold War and demonstrated in 1982 in the First Lebanon War by the Israeli Air Force, and in 1991 in the Iraq War by the American Army. After analyzing the essence of RMA, with reference to the concept of both evolution and revolution of military technologies and doctrines, the article suggests that two types of revolutions should be distinguished. The first is a revolution in military affairs in the broadest sense in which a paradigm shift in the nature of war is occurred, and it is possible to apply it mainly by superpowers. The second, is a limited revolution that is essentially an approach of solving a military problem, suitable for small countries. The article examines these ideas and shows that Operation Mole Cricket 19, in which Syrian missile batteries made in the USSR were destroyed by the Israeli Air Force in 1982, is a revolution in military affairs of the second type.

文章回顾了现代军事革命思想的发展历程，其萌芽出现在第一次世界大战之后，在冷战期间成熟，并在 1982 年以色列空军的第一次黎巴嫩战争中得到体现，并于 1991 年在美国军队发动的伊拉克战争。在分析了RMA的本质后，本文参照军事技术和学说的演进和革命的概念，建议区分两种类型的革命。第一种是最广义的军事革命，战争性质发生范式转变，主要由超级大国应用。二是有限革命，本质上是解决军事问题的方法，适合小国。
