its extremely easy to see online that it was equipped with them irl. this is silly. even needing to submit the proof to get them added is exhaustingly unnecessary considering how well known this fact is.
I found an OVER 6 month old post in bug reports talking about it and it was submitted as a suggestion with 80 others reporting the same issue. How has this not been addressed gaijin…?
Something being sent a suggestion often means that there aren’t solid enough sources for it to be a straight up historical issue and then it’s up to the developers if they want to implement it or not.
Sometimes vehicles get upgrades later as well and then it often also up to the developers what upgrades they want to include or not.
SIRFC provides more capability than existing RF
countermeasures systems on the MH-47 and MH-60
aircraft, which include two legacy radar warning receivers
(APR-39 and APR-44) and two legacy RF countermeasures
systems (ALQ-136 and ALQ-162).
The system will be capable of operating in either an automatic or manual (command) mode. It provides warning (situational awareness), active jamming (self protection), and when necessary expendable countermeasures to defeat threat radar guided weapon systems. Radar guided air defense artillery threat systems include surface to air missiles (SAMs) and anti-aircraft artillery (AAA). A Southwest Asia theater of operations set in 2006 is the basis for threat selection for the engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) program. Future integration of SIRFC with the Suite of Integrated InfraRed CounterMeasures (SIIRCM), in some aircraft which may be equipped with both systems, is a program objective to optimize multi-spectral threat countermeasures. Threat systems are not only those originating from within the Former Soviet Union, but also systems made and proliferated by the United States, US allies, and other weapons producers.

All reports that are created has to have DIRECT proof of both the vehicle that the reported function is on and the reported function itself.
The report linked above is sent as a suggestion as it doesn’t contain direct proof from what i can see. The countermeasures listed is under a list that mentions “(some optional)” in the title of the list.
Suggestions are then developers choice if they want to implement or not.
This is a legitimate source. It links elsewhere and lists names of equipped IRCM, etc. This page is linked too by the second page I sent.
" man.fas.org is the domain for the Military Analysis Network, a non-profit organization that provides science-based analysis on national security, arms control, and public policy, particularly focusing on military hardware, nuclear weapons, and global security issues. It serves as an archive for detailed information on weapon systems, military doctrines, and defense policy."
I would be fine with it getting the countermeasures, as it would increase survivability, but the Yak-141 did not get all of its capabilities. It is supposedly able to carry the R-77 and R-73, as well as air-to-surface missiles.
Ive yet to touch it cuz im lazy, but from what ive seen it should defo not get them just because it would be not exactly the greatest, with flankers around anyway. They have much more missile pylons than it so youre limited.
