Why does the Mirage 4000 not get flares stock?

Finally bought this thing during the sale and it doesn’t get stock flares.

I thought all jets got stock flares and we only need to unlock chaff?

iirc the Mirage 4000 uses countermeasure pods for its countermeasures, which generally are locked behind a modification. iirc the MiG-23M also has to do this, as would the AV-8A/S if it wasn’t a premium.

The Super Etendard also has countermeasures only on pods but I’m pretty sure it has flares stock and the modification only brings chaff
It’s silly that a rank 8 plane lacks stock flares

afaik you should still be able to bring the cm pods, it will just restrict you to flares only until you unlock chaff mod (even though it still has chaff visually modeled in the pod itself, the game just doesnt allow you to use them)
