Screening smoke is a term used to describe smoke that is used for concealing or disguising military movements or operations. Synonyms for this term include camouflage smoke, obscuration smoke, and concealment smoke. This type of smoke is usually created by using smoke grenades, which release a cloud of smoke that can be used to obscure the view of the enemy. Other ways to create screening smoke include using smoke pots, flares or pyrotechnic devices. The use of screening smoke has been a tactic employed by militaries for centuries, and its effectiveness is still proven in modern warfare. However, advancements in technology have made it easier for enemies to detect and penetrate screening smoke, making it essential to use in combination with other tactics.
