Fioletowy granat dymny - wygląd zewnętrzny
...i efekt działania
Granat dymny – granat ręczny służący do oślepiania stanowisk obserwacyjnych i ogniowych przeciwnika, maskowania działań wojsk własnych, pozorowania pożarów obiektów własnych[1] oraz sygnalizacji (np. dla lotnictwa).
Granat dymny nie wybucha, lecz pali się do ok. 2 min. tworząc niewielką zasłonę dymną. Jego korpus wypełnia się najczęściej fosforem białym (ma dodatkowo działanie zapalające i jest silnie toksyczny)[1] lub innymi substancjami dymotwórczymi (jak np. chlorek cyny(IV)). Dla potrzeb sygnalizacji stosuje się substancje dające dymy o różnych barwach.
Jednym z producentów granatów dymnych jest Nitrochem w Bydgoszczy.

Smoke Grenade, Cardinham Moor This discharged smoke grenade was found next to the bridle way crossing Cardinham Moor and was left behind after a training exercise. Notices warn walkers against picking up "undischarged ordnance" and although this did not fit the description, we left it well alone!
