We are not even talking technology here, but basic tactics. Since they apparently had warfare in the past, tactics (and operational art, and strategy, and basic SIGINT philosophy) had not only stagnated, but regressed.

And I have a feeling that their history books will show that this incident as another example of pushing to far and put the blame at the TSAB high command.
If that's so, then that's another case of them coming to the wrong solutions. Technology aside, the scenario on the tactics level is basicaly about a division (corps?) level force with Heavy Air Support managing to assemble in relative secrecy, and an emergency defense being laid by the TSAB. Fortunately for them, the droids apparently weren't even advancing to try to overrun the line (see Ep24)

However as far as we know there aren't any other governments and the only reason that Jail wasn't caught sooner is because the TSAB higher ups covered for him.
If they had proper SIGINT, they'd have located his little den the moment he started talking to Lutecia back in Ep7.

She is an ace, Yuuno hit the in one in a billion shot. It isn't normal.
Nice just asserting the probability.

Truely dangerous LL are rare. And TSAB forces are usually up to the task in controling it, and when they aren't they resort to the Arc cannon.
When solutions like blowing away 100 million natives are acceptable to the Midchildrans, "up to the task" takes on a whole different (lower) meaning.
