How do you...?

There's one thing I'm quite curious about:
How do you take out an AI base which built a Missile Fortress? This actually happens rarely, but lately, on the Sandcastles map, one AI (last AI still standing, lol), was able to built a cannon and missile fortress. It was placed in a way it was very hard to reach and thus very hard to take out. The Air Strike I started was pointless, all vtols where down, not one survived. The damage they inflicted was minimal... I sent in a group of about 20 tanks into the base, but they had to take a bridge which was in perfect range to the missile fortress while still being too far for me to attack. Only 2 survived and that fortress was still standing. Placing a sensor so my hellstorms could take it out was also pointless, the fortress destroyed either the building or the truck (or both) within seconds. The only way I was able to take it down was to produce a big army of tanks, send them into the base to distract the fortress while the Truck could built a sensor tower behind a small hill. The army perished but my artillery could then take out that obstacle.
Now I'm very curious, if an AI is able to build this pain-bringer, how do you destroy it?
