A statement from the U.S. Pacific Fleet said a laser was detected when a Chinese Navy destroyer fired a laser at a U.S. surveillance aircraft flying over the Philippine Sea about 380 miles west of Guam. The laser was detected by sensors on the US P-8A Poseidon aircraft, but was not visible to the naked eye. The P-8 Poseidon is a modified version of a Boeing 737-800ERX.
“Weapons-grade lasers could potentially cause serious harm to aircrew and mariners, as well as ship and aircraft systems,” according to the US Navy.
