For what it's worth, the same thinking was behind the new capital of Myanmar, Naypyidaw. Paranoid military leadership who thought Yangon was too vulnerable to attack, so built a new capital way inland which is massively spread out to make it harder to bomb.

Such a weak argument as we (as humans) just got better at bombing things. More planes + more bombs = problem solved. "You build a bigger shield, we just build a bigger bomb" mentality has to be a core tenet of the military industrial complex.

Actually, modern warframe is all about completing missions while using less bombs and planes. Killing residents may cripple the economy of your enemy but finding the high value targets and only bombing those is cheaper and more effective.
