a network of tunnels and sensors is easier to defend than a open space exposed position where drones can see you from miles away, I guess that makes tunnels better for defense

Given that we have bunker busters that will travel beyond the horizon at hypersonic speeds and bust 200 feet of reinforced concrete...
I don't think any fixed installation is particularly easy to defend?
Also, I'll grant that a drone can see you from miles away, but don't you think any one of a large and growing number of satellites can spot your massive earthworks from tens and hundreds of miles away for the months or years it takes you to construct?
Given that we have nuclear weapons why bother making anything?
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been going the other way around entirely.
It's attackers that can't defend against anything.
Makes me think the noble houses of Westeros should have dug tunnels to foil the Targaryen dragon advantage.
they did - that's why dorne was never conquered
Little known fact, dragonglass is an excellent semiconductor
