It’s not the brute force, it’s the range and accuracy. I wonder how many global hotspots are within 200 miles of the ocean?

It may be the reason that there is less focus on cruise missiles.

And how many of those hotspots will have land-based anti-ship missiles with a range > 200 miles, like the Chinese HY-4 variant of the Silkworm missile series?
