You know there seems to be a deliberate slant to the reporting to make it sound like it was indeed a laser weapon but if you wade through the details it becomes apparent that this was some sort of targeting laser.
It was fired at an unarmored surveillance aircraft yet it caused no damage beyond hurt feelings, and the crew needed sensors to even detect it's presence. Not a very effective weapon if it was that.
