Description: The TL-0, named Alyosha, is a precision-guided missile designed and developed by Arakyd Industries' top chiefs of operations - Nikita Leonov and Alexei Trotsky. The purpose was to design ammo for wrist and shoulder rocket systems such as the NL-17 'Snaryadka' rocket system which earlier created by Nikita Leonov.
The inspiration behind this creation is the notorious white phosphorus' properties and its effects in combat. The aim was to bring a dangerous weapon to a small size making it more convenient and giving soldiers an edge in war. Its strength lies in the white phosphorus which is a very multifunctional substance in terms of combat. Its primary effect is the burning temperature of its flames which reaches a height of 2760 degrees Celsius. The incandescent particles it spreads when exploded are sticky and hard to remove from skin. Moreover, the phosphorus' properties when attached to the skin is that the phosphorus is absorbed into the body in the burned area resulting in kidney and/or heart damage. Additionally, white phosphorus continues to burn until completely deprived of oxygen or until it is consumed.
The whitephosphorus also produces a thick cloud of smoke (it is used in smoke grenades) which can be used to reduce visibility of enemies, while the inhalation of it iritates eyes and the respiratory tract.
From a flaws point of view, these missiles are not as big as their cousins - the ones used by stationary rocket system which fire the 'big bros'. Hence, although a sizeable smoke retains itself for around a minute at most, the small size of the missile lowers its capabilities to such that those at around five meters diameters from the point of explosions will hardly be affected by the burning effects due to the really small sized particles that would reach there. Additionally, these missiles cannot pierce medium to heavy armor.
This results in a very small area-of-effect abilities but strong at their explosion point against a variety of targets.
