In the article analises means of use aerosols allows to create curtains that complicate or completely exclude the aimed use of high-precision weapons is showd. Analysis of recent armed conflicts shows that in conditions of aerosol masking, the effectiveness of using conventional ammunition decreased by 8-12 times. At the same time, the percentage of defeat of armored targets especially decreased. It is also advisable to use aerosol curtains for protection against drones and guided munitions with laser and thermal imaging guidance systems. Currently, military experts often emphasize the growing role and importance of camouflage of troops and objects to achieve success in conducting combat operations in modern conditions. This is determined, first of all, by the appearance of new means of reconnaissance and surveillance, as well as samples of high-precision guided weapons that work in different radiation spectra, which creates additional difficulties in terms of misleading the enemy and reducing their losses in combat equipment, personnel in the event its application. In the conditions of the continuation of the reform of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the problems of reducing the visibility of the troops, their protection from the fire impact of any type of enemy weapons, and above all, from high-precision weapons, deserve special attention and urgency. Means of aerosol masking, which are in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, are morally outdated and do not meet modern requirements for masking. Aerosol generators, which are in service with the armies of Western partner countries, provide broad-spectrum camouflage, but are expensive. Therefore, there is a need to find solutions for low-cost improvement of aerosol generators of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
