Smoke munitions are devices designed to produce a dense cloud of smoke, primarily used for signaling, screening, or obscuring visibility on the battlefield. They can be deployed in various forms, including grenades, artillery shells, and rockets. The smoke generated can help conceal troop movements or equipment from enemy observation. These munitions typically contain a chemical mixture that, when ignited, creates a thick smoke. The color of the smoke can vary, with different colors used for specific signaling purposes. Smoke munitions are essential tools in military operations, aiding in tactical maneuvers and communication among units while minimizing exposure to threats.
