China claims to have found a "weak spot" in the U.S. GBU-57 bunker-buster bomb used in strikes on Iran, revealing that its heavily armored nose contrasts with much thinner, vulnerable side armor. Chinese military researchers suggest that anti-aircraft guns like the Swiss Oerlikon GDF—used by Iran—could potentially intercept the bomb mid-flight if fired from less than 1.2 km away and at angles below 68°, giving a 42% chance of destruction.
