The purpose of the article is to study the opportunities of computerized virtual reality and determine its role in modern war. Among the problems it is possible to emphasize the following ones: correlation between educational and military computer technologies at the modern stage of society evolution; blurring the line between war and war game; compensation of the reality deficiency by means of computer simulation. The majority of articles about application of systems of computerized virtual reality are devoted to virtual simulators and training of military experts at a preparatory stage of war. In our work on the basis of materials from open sources a wider spectrum of possible application of the technologies of virtual modeling, both in the system of military education and at various stages of hi-tech war, is considered.
