Except the moment you have orbital dominance over a planet then no amount of ground or atmosphere based weaponry matters whatsoever. All they would have to do is drop some mass from orbit and they can cause destruction far beyond even the most powerful nuclear weapons.

Footfall nails this. Aliens show up and drop rocks on us from orbit. The reason we prevail is the only plot I’ve read that makes sense.
