"To elaborate, that means he was injured when a laser was aimed at his eyes, right?"Exactly. During the cold war, laser weapons were designed to ruin the optics in weapon systems and the lens in the human eye. If the pilot couldn't see, he'd crash.

The questions I would have are:
1. What altitude was the plane at. If it was 30000ft while descending.
2.What was the delivery system thought to be? On the ground, in the air?
Those two questions when answered will tell us the potential impact.
