Maybe it's more complicated than it seems, but how hard can it be to render an airfield inoperable when you've got dozens of missiles at your disposal?
If it was calculated to be something less than completely effective at disabling that airport, some questions should be asked.

We don't know what the strike was comprised of. Its pretty generic when you say it was a cruise missile strike people tend to think that they're all single warhead high explosives.
But for all we know this could have been a strike that was comprised of a mix of single war head and submunition strikes.
Also if this was a military airbase a lot of the structures like aircraft shelters and tool shops are hardened against these attacks.
