This article lacks any pre-20th century military technology. For instance, it doesn't mention horses or ditches. Hyacinth ( talk) 01:35, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
I facepalmed when I saw the state of the article when it became a WP:TAFI. Britannica has over 20,000 words on the subject and we got nothing. Time to fix that, don't ya think? ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 05:02, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
How narrow a definition should be used? Should information technology as applied to military use be included; should intelligence and deception? SovalValtos ( talk) 17:29, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
A while back, a large part of the article was removed for unexplained reasons. It might be a good idea to put it back. -- Ypnypn ( talk) 21:44, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
Why is are drones not at least mentioned in the article? I think they, incl anti-drone systems, should probably also be included in the section "#Future technology". Featured this in 2022 in science:
Around September, news outlets report about deployment, research and development of novel military drone technology in the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022, including demining drones, [1] self-repurposed commercial/hobby drones [2] [3] (including via a hackathon), [4] better source needed [5] reconnaissance microdrones, [6] kamikaze drones, bomb-dropping modified drones, [7] and countermeasures such as electronic ones. [6] [3] [8] [9]
This may also be relevant:
A study challenges the notion that drones "tilt the military balance in favor of the offense, [and] reduce existing asymmetries in military power between major and minor actors", suggesting that they are "vulnerable to air defenses and electronic warfare systems, and that they require support from other force structure assets to be effective". [10] [11]
Laser weapons (incl anti-drone ones) are also not wikilinked.
Moreover, while there is content in Unmanned combat aerial vehicle#Counter drone tactics, there is none in Loitering munition#Countermeasures.
Some of that may also be missing at List of military inventions and History of weapons.
References
Academic study of drone use in these conflicts demonstrates that, like any weapon, drones are effective when an opponent is not prepared or does not possess the technical capability to counter them. Even when effective, they do not replace conventional ground combat, and when an opponent is prepared, drones simply become another average tool in the box of combined arms.

The Anglo-mysorean wars were in the 18th century. Nitroglycerin wasn't invented until 1847 and not produced until the 1860s Humpster ( talk) 09:11, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
