I can assure you. It's definitely real.
While I have no reason to doubt that laser blinding has been employed in combat, the news paper article that you reference was based on the Defense Intelligenence Agencies' Soviet Military Power 1985 Report, an American propaganda document fraught with errors designed to garner public support of Regan's efforts to break the Soviet Union by fueling a very expensive arms race which in the end worked as he planned.Actually, lasers have been used in combat since the '80s.

Good luck with the 787, Troy.Time to buy was about 12 months ago. With the 787 coming on-line, fingers crossed, by the end of the year our prices will go up, along with the rest of the market.
Both laser systems are Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Lasers (COIL).
