Moralia and the PMC come to mind. The best that mass force has done is pinning down gundams by using 200 to 1 odds. And that failed because there were 3 more units than they knew about [and another thirty in antartica]. The various factions seemed to consider that an all out action. From the evidence the forces involved there wouldn't be sufficient to pin down 10 GN-X's.

The reason the AEU lost at Moralia was because they underestimated the Gundams, surrendered the initiative, and allowed themselves to be defeated in detail. In the Gobi, the allied forces would have destroyed the first four Gundams if they hadn't been trying to capture them.
On actionable intelligence on Celestial Being's base of operations, a power bloc would be able to assemble a half-dozen divisions and utterly crush it, along with any defenders.

Not all strategic weapons are WMDs.

while there are plenty of conventional strategic weapons, they are thusly named because they can impact a war on a strategic level. So far, the only thing that we've seen the Gundams do is to shoot up relatively small bases, so they hardly seem to qualify as strategic weapons. There are certainly no signs that the GN-Xs are unstoppable.
