I'm *really* concerned about this as I thought there was some UN
treaty where various countries had already agreed not to develop such
weapons as lasers with the explicit purpose of blinding people ?

One is given to wonder, however, if that will have any impact on
"future" pilots, where the person behind the plane is in a bunker and
not in the plane.

I've seen it written that America believes these sorts of weapons to
be "weapons of mass destruction" and they would retaliate in kind if
attacked so - ie. with nuclear force.

More than likely, the end result of such weapons would be to wipe out
consumer electronics but defense equipment designed and placed under
different protection mechanisms would be less effected.

Is this the beginning of a new "cold war" ?
