1. The Mithril > Valyrian Steel argument is useless. They are both materials in different universes, no way to compare them.

2. Pretty much. Dragon scale is pretty much impentrable, the only way Dragons were recorded of being slain is through their only weak point, their eyes.

3. It's just logic. The Valyrian military is much, much greater then anything in LOTR. ASOIAF is just on a much grander scale then LOTR. During the Rhoynar Wars (which wasn't even the height of their power), the Rhoynish army of 250,000 slew 100,000 Valyrians and two dragons. The Valyrians responded with an "overwhelming" force, above which flew 300 dragons. This implies an extremely large population. Also, Valyria was stated to be the greatest empire of the Known World. If we compare the amount of territory held by Numenor vs the territory held by the Valyrian Freehold. (We know the sizes of both because the latitude of Hobbiton is said to be Oxford and Minas Tirith Ravenna, Italy, and Westeros is ssaid to be roughly the size of South America). Considering Valyria held the entire Valyrian peninsula, most of Essos west of the Bones, AND the Nine Free Cities, Valyria would most certainly overpower Numenor

And Lady Melron:

Daenerys's dragons are TINY compared to full grown mature dragons, like Baelerion, Meraxes, and Vhaegar. Balerion could kill Smaug.
