in the JF-17 devblog the “BRM-1” weapon was mentioned, I found very little information, mentioned mainly on the DCS forums
The BRM-1s are guided rockets, thanks once again to our friends at DCS
for the little information found was linked to the JF 17, maybe the J10A can use the BRM-1 too??
Estimate, there will definitely be errors, but it should be acceptable.
Hopefully they count them as jumbo countermeasures
I got this image, shoot by someone else from a Chinese museum, it seems to be laege CM similar to russian 50mm CM. the paper besides shoul be A4

Bug report for missing IRCCM on the Pl-5EII
@NCC105 & @dark_claw has anyone written up a bug report that the smaller CM’s should be treated as large caliber CM’s? That could be a very helpful buff to the plane
There is another PL5EII report labelled not a bug already, seems like this is just a dev server thing, they said ‘this is a test server. weapons in the process of setting up’
just do it
Does the J-10A only have 72 countermeasures maximum?
That would seriously put it behind every top tier (13.7) jet in terms of countermeasure count, even lower than the J-8F or JH-7A which are domestic Chinese aircraft that is at lower BRs in the same tree
Problem is no one really knows, it could be 72 Massive flares or a combination of massive and medium sized flares, once we have more info the bug reports will go out, although probably just to be denied by everyone’s favourite tech mod
I hope it at least gets 72 large CMs since that would put it somewhat on par with the currently available Chinese produced aircraft. 72 small countermeasures is going to be way too punishing, especially with how missile happy the 16 vs 16 top tier meta is
Did J-10A ever use BOL flare pod?
no there are no such things in Chinese planes. such things are not very useful in modern air fight, especially BVR, so Chinese planes uses ECM pod instead of developing things like BOL pods.
And china lacks experience in integrated multifunctional pylons, universal pylons are just adapted a few years ago.

No its NATO restricted.
Nobody so far has been able to copy the system or make one quite as capable. Its also very unique in that BOL Flares are Pyrophoric.
Also several nations doctrine like China and France have emphasised that defence against IR threats is unlikely and therefore a lower flare count in exchange for other systems is prioritised on the Rafale and J-10.
Gaijin is modeling J-10 and JAS 39 to act like fully stable aircraft, the animation of these parts is not great on either aircraft.
hopefully ecm comes to the game sometime soon to make up for the lack of cms on some planes, though I have no clue how they’d implement it
They’re mostly used for chaff anyways
