tomahawks didn't fare well when Trump used them in Syria either
i have no idea what they do nowadays. they have those new long range antiship cruise missiles that theyre so fond of...that the russians have already figured out how to jam/spoof.
they keep trying to upgrade the tlams but theyre still antique tech. but they keep the billion-dollar F35s from taking an S300 up the tailpipe
