Re: Idea for ARENA
I think everyone can agree on that, burning phosphorous is something pretty horrible to be spread with...
But I really don't think phosphorous is used in vehicle-mounted SGDs. The thing must be closer from what is in the hand-held signal smoke pots.
Otherwise why would have some firms designed specific SGD-launched frag warheads for close-in defence, and why would the infantry friendly casualty issue have been raised only with the Arena system?
SGDs have been fitted on vehicles for decades and I haven't ever heard of troops getting phosphorous burns from smoke pots. From flare rounds, yes.
Has anyone anything about that?
