Googling on that Russian claim Neal mentioned, I found reports about last year's strike (that I did not follow that closely back then) that of 59 fired Tomahawks, 36 "went amiss". Its mentioned that they were not shot down, but got succssfully "blinded" by Russian ECM. The German sources for these reports that I found so far however are a bit dubious and by name unknown to me.

Is it true? If two thirds of those Tomahawks were successfully neutralised by Russian ECM defences, this would be not just a loss in prestige but a practical desaster for America's prime class of cruise missiles.
