Pentagon lodges complaint after US pilots ‘injured by Chinese military lasers’ in Djibouti
Chinese officials deny American accusations that pilots have been targeted near Beijing’s first overseas military base
“The Chinese and US bases in Djibouti are really close, so one could disturb the other if the two sides don’t have a proper communication mechanism,” said Zhou Chenming, a Beijing-based military analyst.
Zhou noted that China has already publicly showed its use of laser weapons against drones at air exhibitions.
The Chinese military base in Djibouti is just a few miles northwest of Camp Lemonnier, the only permanent US military base in Africa and home to 4,000 US military personnel.
