This is true. But the barrier to using over-the-horizon weapons like icbm / hypersonic is much greater than say drone attacks or fighter jet bombs. Have over-the-horizon weapons ever been used? No. But drone attacks and fighter jet activities are daily occurrences because they can be used with little repercussions.

Over-the-horizon weapons absolutely have been used. Frequently, repeatedly, and (allegedly) effectively. Tomahawks count, unless they're retrospectively reclassified as drones.
