I wish dragons were real so we could hunt them

If dragons were real, they would be like tigers or lions are today. Endangered, with hunting permits being extremely rare, hilariously expensive, and only given to the elite so they can stroke their pee pee over shooting a sterile old bull that isn't producing fertilized eggs, but is still strong enough to fight off younger males to keep his harem. The heyday would have been 200 years ago when your ancestor Sir William Brushfire became world famous for being the first man to hunt 100 dragons, thus ensuring future generations would not get the privilege. At most, your average person would get to see clips of dragons eating goats or fighting over breeding rights, but you would almost never get to see one in real life, let alone hunt one.
 
There's no way you're going to afford state of the art military tech to hunt dragons.

And if the dragons are at least as smart as you, they'll try to steal your country's military grade weapons, if they don't just develop their own technology.

You won't be hunting, you'll be desperately fighting for humanity's survival.
 
Smaug did nothing wrong. He sent those disgusting elves and uppity dwiggers to hell where they belong.

The more Tolkien I read, the more I hate elves.

And I'm not even talking about fancy stuff like biowarfare, lasers or missiles; anyone who has seen the aftermaths of industrial machinery incidents, vechicle accidents, or anything involving high mass + velocity knows how devastating it is.

Correct. I've saw a guy barely clip. The side of a building we were framing and tear out half a wall. With a petty boom.
 
Aryan steppe nomads would ride dragons and burn India to the ground.
 
I like to imagine that in a world with classic dragons that are domesticable (if we're doing that kind of world) dragon warfare doctrine would have rapidly wound up just being MAD. You can't counter the thing. It's aerial in an age where people have crossbows and crap and everything's made of wood. That dragon is going to immediately go start massive fires that burn whole cities down and there's nothing that can stop it except for another dragon, and dragons are going to be ridiculously expensive - all that chattel needed to keep it fed - that probably only great powers would be able to field a few, so deploying dragons for air superiority is so risky nobody would ever risk the catastrophe of a single dragon being lost, and so you just get endless posturing while dragons eat up a quarter of the kingdom's GDP every year and nobody sees them and they're probably not even "functional" for combat.
