Irans missile war would be "shock and awe". Wave after wave, with each wave getting stronger until the enemy gives up.
- Tomahawk is much less survivable than a BM and the failure rate of a mature BM is <10%. The systems that want to intercept it are few and expensive, while CMs are handled with much simpler systems.
There are also always BMs that have the specialized role of taking out ABM systems, once ABM capability is degraded, nothing can stop the bulk of the arsenal.
- I remembered U.S Pentagon estimates on the Chinese missile arsenal which was a joke too before revised in the recent years.
In total it is very unfortunate that INF was terminated and the U.S has started its hypersonic ( in fact ballistic) missile program... Together with their cost effective CM program they don't need conventional airpower to do damage via a step by step SEAD/DEAD campaign.
The only cure for now is the very high passive protection of Iranian BM arsenal.
Before INF termination U.S airpower would need weeks to punch trough Irans IADS/AF to the missile bases, enough time to safely employ the arsenal...
They are now aware that the age of airpower-centristic warfare is ending and Trump played the role of INF killer.
