Ever since their camp had been bombarded by airdropped puppets, Sunagakure had worried that Konoha would repeat the same attack and target Sunagakure itself.
Thus, the Third Kazekage and Chiyo had wanted to arrange for more sensory ninjas to stand guard.
Unfortunately, ideals were plump, but reality was skinny.
A sensory ninja's perception could cover an entire military camp only because the camp was not that large, and it required several sensory ninjas working together.
Such precautions worked in a camp, but not in a village.

Ninjas were people, not machines. Sensory ninjas were not radars that could scan twenty-four hours a day.
They simply could not remain at their posts and monitor everything around them at all times.
Unless they wanted to die from exhaustion.
So, Sunagakure could not defend against an airdrop attack. It simply could not. The same would have been true for any other village.
