But the military will probably have much smaller thermal vision by now (its 2018), and the soldiers would probably be trained that if it gets too cold all of a sudden and people start collapsing, to put on the thermal vision and shoot the bastards. About everything else... I still think what would kill the wizards is probably the fact that Muggles are much more adaptable (Wizards tech is very very low and so is their culture.) Wizards haven't changed a lot since the middle ages, their culture would be considered barbaric by our standards. They put people into vegetative state, they have slaves, they treat all other magical creatures much like how Hitler treated the Poles, and etc. Also, a lot of magical creatures might join the Muggles, or at least be rather uncooperative with Voldy and Co. (ie the Goblins). Finally, JK never clarified what it was that made wizards wizards, and I think it could be very interesting if there was some kind of "magical gene". And sheer numbers, as stated earlier, is going to be a big difference. The Wizards don't have an actual military, the Aurors are more like the SAS, and the Death Eaters are really a terrorist group, like al Qaeda. They aren't nearly as well trained, and I doubt any of them would know hand to hand combat.
