A Pentagon állításait általában tényleg lehet osztani kettővel, vagy többel, de már Irakban ennél jobb arányt értek el. A tényleges hit ratio 40-50% körül lehet.

At the time, the U.S. military reported that of the 288 Tomahawks launched at the Iraqis, eight malfunctioned after launch, 45 missed their targets, two were shot down and 233 scored hits. However, in the years that followed, serious studies found that the Tomahawk's success rate had been significantly overstated. It is now widely believed that Tomahawks destroyed their targets less than 40 percent of the time.

The Defense Intelligence Agency conducted a bomb damage assessment on 357 strategic targets for which sufficient data was available. Some of these targets were engaged by Tomahawks. Of the 34 Tomahawks launched against these targets, 18 destroyed their targets and 16 failed to do so, about a 53 percent success rate. Of the 16 that failed to destroy their targets, the largest portion (the exact numerical breakdown remains classified) experienced guidance failures on the way to the target.

Nem tudjuk persze a pontos TLAM verziót, hogy ezek naftalinból elővett régi típusok, vagy újabb TLAM-D típusok lehettek. Storm Shadow-ból tudtommal 8db-ot lőttek ki Tornado gépekről, ha 1-2-őt lelőttek, az még mindig jó arány.
