Burning white phosphorus (WP) releases a thick white smoke (P2O5 reacting with water in the air). So if there is no dense, white smoke, it can not be WP.
@Eheran Thanks, yeah I saw your other comments that provided informational links after posting this.
@ukraine
Could this be illumination rounds then? Would explain how the forest isn't actually on fire, the lack of smoke, and the non-chalantness of the video.
No, those are incendiary rounds, there just isn't much left to burn at this point. It looks amazing for a minute and then it is burned up.
