Right or wrong on the attack, I don't understand 59 Tomahawks for one airbase. Seems like about 5-8 are enough to take out an airbase.

Would take one for each parked aircraft, if spread out.

Those and a few vital facilities.

Maybe these were old missiles, and cheaper to shoot them than return for update. I heard that once in a different Millennium, I think.

No way, 5-8 would be a pin-prick. 50+ warheads allows us to destroy lots of planes and aircraft hangars/shelters. It’s a big airbase.

Except it wasn’t. Very little damage to the base.
