Tomahawk class (Block III and above), are among the most elusive and capable of terrain-hugging cruise missiles in the world. These cruise missiles have a very small RCS via shaping and RAM coating, and also equipped with countermeasures to interfere with detection. Route setting also make difference in terms of ensuring survivability in hostile conditions.Ever heard Terrcom/terrain hugging capability of cruise missiles to hide from ground based radars
Tomahawk/ALCM is not very stealthy, my friend, only newer version of medium range cruise missile are stealthy like JASSAM/Scalp (storm shadow)/ SOM/Turus/RA'Ad etc etc
As far as I am aware, only Serbians managed to down a Tomahawk class cruise missile in 1999 (just one). Tomahawk class made a complete mockery of Russian-origin and Russian-exclusive defenses in Syria recently.
