Is that a big yellow "reset" button on that tank?

During the Iraqi war wasnt there actual video of the tomahawks flying below the skyline of Baghdad....ie, essentially going down the streets, just above telephone line height?

according to missile writers.several are disputable.

I don't think you can track Tomahawks with radar until they attain strike vicinity.
Correct. Or at least not easily.

I don't remember if it is different with a strike or a search package placed on the missile. In a search package, I think it travels in a short s-pattern until it finds it's prey (target that matches set parameters), then it goes up and then down in an upside down U.
It's GPS guided and doesn't do any maneuvers outside of gaining altitude for the top down strike.

I don't remember if strike package does the upside down U
It does and is extremely vulnerable in that stage

I did work with ESSM, which is out point defense missile, and we had a hell of a time tracking, much less striking tomahawk missiles.
If it's traveling in cruise mode it'll be difficult because of just how low it is. Once it reaches the targeted area it'll be very easy to spot and track on radar. Hence why pre-positioning of radar sites and launch platforms is essential for defending against cruise missiles. The Pantsir is kind of similar to ESSM in that it's a point defense missile system.

In a BBC interview it was stated that 120 missles were fired, and that there was no word of any being intercepted. So even if Syria is telling the truth roughly 90% got thru.
That Russian air defense system isn't working too well. I'm sure Russia doesn't have their newest/best systems in Syria, but still only a 10% intercept rate is pretty embarrassing.
