I suggest adding a new type of missiles called by the radio operator squad IV
The radio operator requests a missile strike. and sarin missiles fly to the place indicated by the player and cause damage to enemies in the area of impact, even those that are in enemy vehicles.

Sarin (isopropyl ether of methylphosphonic acid fluorohydride) is an organophosphorus nerve agent.
It is a colorless and odorless liquid; miscible in all respects with water and organic solvents.
History
Discovery
Sarin was discovered in 1938 in Wuppertal (Elberfeld) in the Berg Region of Germany by two German scientists who were trying to obtain more powerful pesticides. Sarin is the third most toxic of the four G-series toxic substances created in Germany, after soman and cyclosarin. The G-series is the first and oldest family of nerve agents: GA (tabun), GB (sarin), GD (soman) and GF (cyclosarin). Sarin, which was discovered after tabun, was named after its researchers: Schrader (Gerhard Schrader), Ambros, Ritter and Van der Linde.
The Second World War
In mid-1938, the formula of the substance was transferred to the Chemical Weapons Department of the Wehrmacht, which placed an order for the mass production of sarin for military needs.
By the end of World War II, several experimental plants had been built, as well as a factory for the production of this toxic substance on an industrial scale (construction was not completed). The total amount of sarin produced in Germany is estimated to range from 500 kg to 10 tons.
Despite the fact that sarin, tabun and soman were already part of artillery shells for chemical mortars and rocket launchers, Germany abandoned plans for the combat use of nerve gases. It is also believed that Hitler assumed that the USSR and the Allied army had more chemical weapons, and also took into account the fact that chemical warfare agents did not have an effective effect on soldiers equipped with chemical protection equipment.
Work on the production of tabun, sarin and soman during the Second World War was also carried out in the USA and Great Britain.
After the Second World War

In the first half of the 1950s, NATO adopted sarin. At that time, the USSR and the USA were producing sarin for military purposes.
In 1953, 20-year-old Ronald Maddison, a British Air Force engineer from Consett, County Durham, died while testing sarin on humans at the Porton Down Scientific and Technical Laboratory in Wiltshire. Maddison was told that he was participating in an experiment to treat a runny nose. For ten days after his death, the investigation was conducted in secret, after which the verdict was “accidental.” In 2004, the investigation was resumed, and after a 64-day hearing, the court ruled that Maddison had been unlawfully killed by “exposure to nerve poison in an inhumane experiment.”[1]
Regular production of sarin in the United States was discontinued in 1956, and existing stocks of the toxic substance were restilled, which lasted until 1970.
In 1978, Michael Tonely testified under oath in a Chilean court that sarin was produced by chemical scientist Eugenio Berrios under the leadership of the secret police DINA of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. Berrios’ body, shot in the head, was found buried on a beach in Uruguay in 1995. Townley also said that sarin was used to kill the actual keeper of the state archives, Renato Leon Centeno, and army Corporal Manuel Layton.
Iran-Iraq War
In Baathist Iraq, the Muthana Government Agency was engaged in the production of sarin on an industrial scale. Iraq used sarin against Iran in the 1980-1988 war.
On March 16-17, 1988, the Iraqi air force subjected the city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan to a gas attack using various toxic substances: mustard gas, sarin, tabun, VX gas. According to various estimates, the number of victims, who belonged almost exclusively to the civilian population, ranged from several hundred to 7,000 people; the number of 5,000 dead and 20,000 injured is usually given. There were many children among the dead, as the gas was spreading on the ground.
It was reported that by the time of the war, Iraq possessed 3,315 tons of toxic substances and used about 80% of its arsenal in combat, that is, about 2.5 thousand tons[2]. The average practical consumption of explosives in terms of the deceased is 0.5 kg/person, and 0.1 kg/person per victim (including the dead).
UN Security Council Resolution 687, published in 1991, established the term “weapons of mass destruction” and called for the immediate destruction of chemical weapons in Iraq, the destruction of all missiles with a range of more than 150 km that Iraq possesses, as well as, if possible, the destruction of all chemical weapons in the world.
Chemical Weapons Convention
In 1993, 162 UN member states signed the Chemical Weapons Convention in Paris, prohibiting the production and stockpiling of chemical weapons, including sarin. The Convention entered into force on April 29, 1997, and called for the complete destruction of all stocks of these chemicals by April 2007.
