No idea about what the truth is, but a gliding Small Diameter Bomb is not a particularly challenging target. You're talking about something that, compared to aircraft, is both slow and has a very predictable flightpath. The big question is "shot down with what?": shooting down a 250lb bomb with a 4000lb S400 SAM is doable, but a loser economically. If a Pantsir point defense system got it with a cheap missile, or even cheaper 30mm gunfire, then that would be a "W" so it depends.
