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.

Very good point that I was about to make but you beat me to it. The self-loathing Western media and elite have completely inverted traditional morality.
Let Putin deal with them and Allah sort them out.
Perhaps you haven't seen the ISIS videos?
I don't care if it violates international law. On this vermin, Mustard Gas would be okay with me.
And slicing off heads, burning alive in cages, drowning in cages .. are all in accordance with international law.

ISIS Tried To Scare Everyone With Strange New Weapon. Instead, They’re Getting Laughed At
by Kevin Whitson
ISIS is fighting Russian fighter planes. And when ISIS doesn’t have shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles, they must think of some other more effective way to destroy those Russian fighters decimating their forces.
Those ideas must be creative, powerful, and effective. And so ISIS is reaching for the only materials they supposedly have to fashion new weaponry to mount a potent defense. This time, they are reaching for their condoms.

They aren't "enemy troops," they're TERRORISTS.
Burning captured pilots in cages and cutting heads of of Christians or burning them alive in churches violates international law, too.
Screw off.
They’re not troops and thus are not covered by the Geneva or Hague Conventions.

Just shut your dhimmi yap. Positive law does not apply to non-signatories. Terrorists are defined by their violation of international law. Not only are you a FUD shill, you are attempting to defend and protect vile, stinking, murderous animals.
May your precious terrorists unleash their horrors on you, and may your last moments be realizing how foul you are.
The Russians should INSURE that they blind the jihadists first and then kill them afterwards. That way the jihadists won’t know how incredibly ugly their 72 virgins are.
Has Hussein Obama written a note of thanks to Putin yet?
Is it temporarily blinding?
Because killing your enemy is so much more... you know... humane, than simply wounding him!
The article implies that it's directed at technology more than human eyeballs. And there's nothing to imply that if it is used against human beings that it permanently blinds them. And even if it does blind them permanently, is that really worse than killing them?
From the article:
The country's defence vehicles could soon be equipped with the device, which fires out light strong enough to block sensors and cloak human vision.
It will provide cover for troops by dazzling enemies and sabotaging hostile reconnaissance attempts.
Screw the law. This is ISIS we’re talking about, not human beings. Nothing is too cruel for those monsters.
I don’t know. Let’s see what I can dig up.
Check this out.
Seems this incident involved permanent damage. Then there are two follow-up presentations of the program.

If they use those weapons and get away with it, those weapons will be used against others, possibly us.
Those laser blinding devices are illegal at the present time.
Russia’s adherence to international law should be of concern. If they don’t follow the law here, why would they bother sticking to their (nuclear) agreements?
If my memory serves me correctly Basil had the hands cut off the “seeing” individuals who led the blinded ones back.
I know it sounds gruesome but the alternative was having them all killed. There were no POW camps back in the day, etc. So it is actually both a mercy and a smart what to weaken your enemy.
It sounds like a fascinating weapons system. Non-lethal but totally effective. Wonder if we have something like that? I’ll bet someone is developing glasses, goggles to protect from the effects.
