Hello all,

This is the info from the National Archives:



According to Friedmanīs Naval Institute Guide to Naval Weapons Systems DEC Laser Dazzler was on both carriers, both Type 22`s and HMS Argonaut.

According to the book: "It may have caused the loss of several Argentine aircraft, including one whose pilot reported that intense glare had driven him away from an attack on HMS Argonaut"

Really, I donīt know any Argentine A/C lost due laser attack. Less than any attack was aborted due to "intense glare". I think the builder was overoptimistic at the time or trying to sell it to other buyers...

Regards!
