[MilCom] OT: Laser Wars

[Frank Cardenas]

There has been a report recently that China has fired high-power
lasers at U.S. spy satellites flying over its territory in what
experts see as a test of their ability to blind the spacecraft,
according to sources. It remains unclear how many times the
ground-based laser was tested against U.S. spacecraft or whether the
tests were successful. It is uncertain when China first used lasers to
attack American satellites. Sources would only say that there have
been several tests over the past several years.
