So are you saying you have an independent source to back up what the OP is claiming?
You are missing the point. The point is one of logic. If someone was painting the target it means there was something there with the ability to fire. You don't paint the target until you are ready to fire because the laser is easily detected by the enemy and you will give up your position. In fact because the laser is tied into the firing system of the firing aircraft I don't even think you can paint the target without the aircraft being there (although i could be wrong on that).
Now you could argue that the reports that he was painting the target were false, but if those reports are true then there had to be something there with the ability to deliver ordinance.
This is complete and total bullshit. A laser designator is completely invisible and can only be detected by the proper sensing equipment.
I wish you assholes would stop making shit up!
