i count like 60ish flares being deployed. so we know its at least that.
also, they appear to be large flares (in the pictures you posted) but maybe im just mixing things up

Thanks. This confirmed my suspicion. So the MJU-10/B package is just a large flare, yes?

i wonder if F-22 has spectral flares to deal with most advanced IIR seekers
Maybe later F-22 blocks will have those. They are supposed to use advanced MJU-39 and MJU-40 flares. I don’t have any technical details on those systems.
dispensers? isnt MJU for the countermeasures themselves? or is it some kind of advanced cluster bomb flare
My mistake. They are countermeasure flares, yes. Those are magnesium based kinematic IR countermeasures.

I say 5 to 10 years should be enough, many of the ones we already have has very guessed stats…
Maybe. The 2" x 2" ones would be large though no?
I’m not really sure about it, but seems that the rectangular hole would be for the 1" x 2" (MJU-7 size; in-game large caliber) CMs. So it could accommodate 144 small caliber CMs.
So would the 2x2 MJU-10 be XL countermeasures?
One MJU-10 is roughly the same size as two MJU-7s, so 36 rounds would be the maximum.

Yeah, those numbers make sense to me. Thanks.
That’s a brilliant argument, I’m pleased I’ve come across it as you have raised very interesting points. I’ve seen a supporting argument in your favour that you should check it out: 1. Su-57's radar suite is actually better, F-22 is ageing badly. [Not Ragebait] - #375 by Qu_Rahn
