What is the purpose of inventing new
warfare technologies if some countries have enough power to destroy our planet
several times?
War did not start yesterday or there an end
to it. It is timeless and universal. Then again technology shapes warfare and
not war. War is a condition in which a state might find itself in. And warfare
is a physical activity conducted by armed forces in the context of war.
However, technology has been the primary
sources of military innovation throughout history. Today, we have modern
high-tech automation, such as; airplanes, missiles, tanks, drones, satellites,
computers, GPS, etc. And some of these technologies can destroy an entire
nation within seconds. Yet, scientists have been trying to invent much more
powerful warfare technologies that can be used during wars. It can be said
that, countries seeking such powerful technology is to hold more power over one
another country. They believe that more modern, or postmodern, the warfare
becomes, the more the country holds power.
Another reason of inventing such high-tech
warfare inventions is the belief of banishing the burden of war by inventing an
ultimate weapon that no one would dare to use. Yet, there can always be a much
more power and the need of inventing such technologies.
However, inventing such powerful
technologies does not start or end of a war. Warfare technologies are just a
mean used in wars it holds power.
