The era of dominance of fixed wing aircraft is quickly coming to a close.

Static airfields are unhidable, unmovable targets.

They most likely didn't strike the runway. They hit the equipment/buildings that make the runway functional and any aircraft surprised on the ground.

Refueling systems, mechanical bays, radars, etc are all pretty easy to destroy.
