Considered are ${\cal N}=2\, SU(N_c)$ or $U(N_c)$ SQCD with $N_F<2N_c-1$equal mass quark flavors. ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry is softly broken down to${\cal N}=1$ by the mass term $\mu_{\rm x}{\rm Tr}\,(X^2)$ of colored adjointscalar partners of gluons, $\mu_{\rm x}\ll\Lambda_2$ ($\Lambda_2$ is the scalefactor of the $SU(N_c)$ gauge coupling).  There is a large number of different types of vacua in these theories withboth unbroken and spontaneously broken global flavor symmetry,$U(N_F)\rightarrow U({\rm n}_1)\times U({\rm n}_2)$. We consider in this paperthe large subset of these vacua with the unbroken non-trivial $Z_{2N_c-N_F\geq2}$ discrete symmetry, at different hierarchies between the Lagrangianparameters $m\gtrless\Lambda_2,\,\, \mu_{\rm x}\gtrless m$. The forms of lowenergy Lagrangians, charges of light particles and mass spectra are describedin the main text for all these vacua.  The calculations of power corrections to the leading terms of the low energyquark and dyon condensates are presented in two important Appendices. Theresults agree with also presented in these Appendices independent calculationsof these condensates using roots of the Seiberg-Witten spectral curve. Thisagreement confirms in a non-trivial way a self-consistency of the wholeapproach.  Our results differ essentially from corresponding results in e.g. recentrelated papers arXiv:1304.0822, arXiv:1403.6086 and arXiv:1704.06201 ofM.Shifman and A.Yung (and in a number of their previous numerous papers on thissubject), and we explain in the text the reasons for these differences. (Seealso the extended critique of a number of results of these authors in section 8of arXiv:1308.5863).
