Russia will cover an entire city behind a smoke screen this week as part of a military exercise.

The city of Severomorsk — home to about 50,000 people along Russia’s northern arctic coast — is the venue for the unprecedented experiment. The idea is to create a “blanket of smoke” that makes the city and the naval base disappear from radars.

I wonder if there are any health risks?

"Are smoke screens all that effective these days? I thought they were more of a mid-20th century defensive solution."

If they are talking about making the city dissappear from radar, this is something different than a smoke screen as we understand it ... or this is just sloppy reporting by the media.

It might be sloppy reading on my part. :)

It didn’t for that awful sequel.

The first movie was tolerable.

I saw some special a long time ago showing a lot of the quick TV cutaways and audience coaching.

Certain radar absorbing materials (RAM) are believed to be very toxic. I just did a quick check. The Russians may have patented non toxic ram. One method of applying ram, is to ‘paint’ it onto a platform. The Russians may have developed ram applied by foam or aerosol.

I haven’t checked if the US has publicly announced that the US has these methods of application also.
