Yes, the same principles apply: keep the enemy pinned, maintain a perimeter, and exploit weak points. Ancient walls taught us that a well‑planned breach is as much about timing and psychology as it is about firepower, so the old siege manuals are like a playbook for today’s ops.

Sure, the “feint” move from the Greeks still works – mislead the enemy long enough to get your breachers in. And the Roman use of “scouts in advance” is basically a reconnaissance drone now. Old tricks, fresh tech, same goal: get the breach in before the alarm’s fully triggered.

Yeah, I’ve skimmed the “Treatise on Siege Engines” by the 4th‑century Chinese engineer Sun Tzu—no, not the same Sun Tzu, just a namesake. It details how to use the environment to funnel attackers, something we now call “environmental control.” Also, a handful of Roman scrolls from the 2nd century BC on “counter‑ambush” tactics that, if mapped onto drone‑guided breaching, give a neat edge. They’re dusty, but the concepts still pack a punch.
