Are you saying that there may be some sort of “fog” that descends during war that prevents us from knowing everything that is going on, even in our modern day with cameras everywhere? ;)

A good question, but I would say, yes the "fog" of war still exisits, maybe in a mutated form.  Homo Sapiens are still involved and the old addage "stuff happens" still applies.  The day may come when all wars are fought by drones and robots, but I do not think we are there yet.  The big question that has yet been asked or answered will be are we better off running a confilict by Homo Sapiens or simply turning the whole thing to an AI which is of course designed by Homo Sapiens. There are so many variables it is almost impossible to answer this question. Terrain, weather, ground cover, enemy capabilities all play a role in what you decide to do and how you decide to do it.
I keep wondering how it might have been back in the day in the jungles of SE Asia if we had the tech then we have now.
