Tomahawk warhead is only 1000 pounds.
Yep, on E-models, which were the bulk of what was used on the Syrian airfield. But by the same token, that's twice the payload of the usual bomb droped in a *stick* of ten by a WWII B-17. Which usually got the job done, though it sometimes took repeated applications.
Was this a serious military strike, or just *sending a message.* And if the latter, will we get a message in return?
