Thanks Robe.

So smoke rounds can have impact, proximity and altimeter fuses like any arty round, I presume. IF the round bursts in the air, then smaller pieces ignite, emit smoke and tumble to the ground and continue to emit smoke until consumed.

I’ll now go do some research on smoke rounds and be back in a bit.
