I guess those wonderful forests of yours can be highly inflammable.

The wooden buildings (and brick/concrete buildings opened up by HE) in Chechnya were probably vulnerable to all forms of incendiaries.

I still can't remember where I read about the smoke shells. It was a long time ago - and it stuck in my mind at the time.
