Kinetic warfare is a term for military combat or other forms of directly-destructive warfare, to contrast "soft" force such as diplomacy, lawfare, sanctions, cyberwarfare, psychological warfare, information warfare, or other types of warfare. The term emerged as military jargon before it became used in wider circles at the turn of the millennium.
