All the fancy toys in the world don't matter if the bases are withering on the vine because of infrastructure collapse as one example.

That's assuming only the supernatural side gets to sneak attack. Yes, the nations that dwell in the NeverNever are gonna have an advantage but the ones based in reality have security problems also. We invaded and occupied a foreign nation over 5000 deaths in a terrorist attack. If something like Chicago happened, thre Formor would be seeing some nuclear torpedoes headed their way and most other nations wouldn't bat an eye.

If they know where to aim. War with the supernatural world start with an intelligence problem.

Agreed, and humanity is behind in that respect. But you can bet there will be a major effort to catch up and it won't take long. For starters all those "Black Cat" files will get major reviews and probably a Federal agency to coordinate and collate them. One with full access to spy satellites and facial tracking

How do you catch up with magic? Those black cat files are mostly about the lesser mooks. Those will be sacrificed to give humanity the idea that they have won.
Satellites can be sabotaged with magic and modern technology is vulnerable to magic.
But different groups will have a different level of success. Most will just hide and use their magic to frustrate efforts to find and identify them.
Disrupt society, compromise officials, target dangerous individuals, destroy information…
Why anything that even looks like an open battle? That is not the supernaturals strongest point.

I think that the ones with more intel, literal precognition and a bunch of already subverted agents will have a slight advantage in terms of initiative when it comes to guerilla warfare.
