The weapon could be used in Putin's brutal onslaught against ISIS which was stepped up yesterday as Russian jets smashed 27 jihadi hotspots.

Moscow has launched a ruthless campaign on the terror group in a bid to wipe them out forever.

Russian airstrikes were said to have hit 71 armoured vehicles, 30 other vehicles, 19 command facilities, 2 communication centres, 23 depots with fuel and ammunition, 6 plants used to make car bombs, several artillery pieces and training camps.

Russia's bombings have weakened the morale of militants and have sent thousands on the run, according to the country's defence ministry.

And as if on cue, Syrian rebel twitterers are reporting cases of blindness in rebel hospitals.....no way to verify of course - this is the internet after all....

Awesome. Love and war.

Ask your hero Putin.

[2harddrive]

Using lasers that BLIND enemy troops VIOLATES international law. Period.

[Trumpinator]

Ask him what?

[Trumpinator]

Yea, I am sure Putin is upset about it....

[Borges]

Are ISIS ‘troops’?

[ArGee]

That would be true if they were using these on humans. But they’re using them on Jihadis so it’s OK.

War 1.0...Egads!

Gee, this doesn’t sound at all like Obummer’s feeble one-bomber attacks on ISIS. They say they want to die for Allah, and Putin is happy to oblige. More power to him.

[sparklite2]

brutal onslaught... ruthless campaign...

Next up, how to fight a kinder, gentler war.

SHAZAM!

[ryderann]

I don’t recall that I’ve ever seen the media use the words “brutal” and “ruthless” when referring to ISIS atrocities.

[T. P. Pole]

But killing them is ok. What a strange law.

Not new dazzler laser systems go back to the Falklands war.

First owes were to blind missiles. later to blind Snipers.

[elhombrelibre]

If he’s blinding these people. You know it’s the subject you posted about, right?

[C19fan]

Marshall Zhukov came up with the idea of using search lights to blind the Germans for his initial assault on the Seelow Heights just outside Berlin. The plan backfired as all the dust in the air reflected the lights back blinding the assault troops.

[Carry_Okie]

Using lasers that BLIND enemy troops VIOLATES international law. Period.

Then take your complaint to the international government.

Is that what you want?

[Trumpinator]

Sure, I have Vlad on speed dial.....
