105 mm smoke shell

A 105 mm smoke shell is a type of artillery round designed to create a smoke screen on the battlefield. It is fired from a 105 mm artillery gun, commonly used by various military forces. Upon impact or detonation, the shell releases a dense cloud of smoke, obscuring visibility for enemy forces and providing cover for friendly troops. This smoke can impair targeting and movement, making it a tactical tool in military operations. Smoke shells are essential for concealing troop movements and protecting positions during combat.
