How to stop deadly US bunker buster bomb? Scientist from this country proposes solution, bad news for Trump due to…

Beijing: The United States’ bunker-buster bombs have reportedly raised concerns in China. These are the same powerful weapons the US previously used to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. It is important to note that the US’s precision-guided bunker-buster bombs fly at a slow speed after being launched but carry massive warheads encased in thick armor. Chinese scientists have now claimed they have found a way to counter these American bunker-busters which doesn’t require any sophisticated technology. Chinese President Xi Jinping is reportedly pleased with their suggestion.

When US B-2 stealth bombers attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities using GBU-57 MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator) bunker-buster bombs, there was reportedly minimal resistance. Chinese scientists, proposing a way to stop these bombs, said that the target country should strike the bomb’s weak spots.

While the front armor of the bomb is thick, its steel edges are relatively thin — only a few centimeters thick — which means one or two anti-aircraft shells could penetrate and neutralize the bomb.

Here are some of the key details:

• Low-cost anti-aircraft guns can be deployed around key installations.
• These guns must remain operational, be able to track radar, and withstand electronic warfare.
• Instead of using China’s own weapons, the simulation used the Swiss Oerlikon GDF gun, which is widely used in the Middle East, including Iran.
• The GDF fires 36 rounds in just two seconds.
• At a distance of 1,200 meters (0.7 miles), its strike accuracy reaches 42 percent.

The method was published on April 14 in Journal of Gun Launch and Control, one of China’s top weapons journals, by a team led by researcher Cui Jingyi from the Northwest Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, part of Chinese weapons manufacturer Norinco.
