Abstract
A smoke grenade including in an interposed position between a fuse emitting a low intensity flame and a smoke-generating composition requiring for optimum smoke production ignition by a high intensity flame, a rocket motor propellant which is ignited by the fuse and thereupon generates the high intensity flame resulting in smoke-generating service of the composition in an optimum short duration which foils manual removal of the grenade from the intended site of use.
