Why on earth would you believe the missile count, cost or that they were even Tomahawks?

Supposedly Tomahawks are fairly easy to shoot down with current portable anti missile defenses. That is why you fire so many at once. It is like playing a video game at level 10. You could stop 1 or 3 attacks, but never 59. That said, some or even many had to have been shot down if they really were Tomahawks. So lets see them.
