curtain (cloud) of polluting aesosols (used by Russian troops) Explanation: to mask some equipment or maneuvers aerosols of oxides of nitrogen and carbon as well as lead aerosols, these gases are polluting. "Obscurant smoke" is an aerosol cloud brought into the line of sight between an observer and a target. Obscurants are not considered chemical weapons. Rather, they are classified as military chemical compounds even though some have toxic effects. These toxic smokes (sometimes called combination smoke) include tear gas or other chemical agents that can degrade electro-optical devices in the visual and infrared wavebands. |
