Only country I know that has that hardware (for lazing bomber pilots) was the Soviet Union.

You can buy necessary equipment on Ebay for a couple hundred bucks.

This could be for everyone:
This would not be a conventional laser. This would have to be a high-powered laser as it would be fired from a great distance, through lots of atmosphere and glass. The USSR used this idea as a way of blinding pilots in wartime and developed powerful lasers for this purpose. It doesn't burn skin, but it's enough to damage your eyes. The crewmember is being treated for an eye injury.
