In this particular scenario, I am concerned about the Russian At-14 Kornet ATGMs. The AT-14 is laser beam riding SACLOS system instead of wire guidance. So any type of smoke (artillery, vehicle or fire smoke in general) should block the AT-14 laser guidance. I am guessing the AT-14 also has thermal sights which would allow identification of targets for laser guidance at night. However night or day, any type of smoke should be effective against AT-14s as smoke disables the guidance system. At least, that is what I think should happen. So I am putting up a smoke screen before I make an assault across open ground if the AT-14 is a threat. Of course, a smoke screen probably won't help against any thermal sighted, wire guided missile systems which might be lurking out there but at least, I shouldn't have to worry about the At-14.
