Default Re: Russian Chemical Troops

AFAIK FT troops were originally in Russia formed from chemical corps and flame weapons were(and are) called "chemical" (for example T-26 based flame tanks were often called "Chemical tanks").

Similar example is US "Chemical mortar", ie. 4.2 inch mortar, originally designed for chemical corps to disperse gas or lay smoke, HE capability was added later on when it was found there are even non-WMD scenarios in the warfare.
