152mm round with smoke grenade

The smoke artillery rounds are meant for vertical cloaking and glaring smoke screens, further more for target marking and signalling the location of the battlefield. The smoke artillery rounds can be used in both daytime and nighttime. During the night they provide the troops and the logistics sights with cloaking protection from the enemy observation, with the help of night vision devises and means of artificial illumination.
