Cruise missiles with countermeasures

[DeHav]

I was reading this article earlier, which discusses the Kh-101 and its chaff/flare dispensers.

It's unclear if it's a specialised decoy version operating like an OECM / chaff laying drone, perhaps similar to the MALD, or if 'normal' missiles are being equipped with countermeasures. In any case, it's interesting to consider missiles with defensive countermeasures.

Am I right in thinking that this sort of thing isn't modelled in CMO? It would be interesting to experiment with them and see how well they might work. My initial thoughts are that it's probably not very effective...

I know that the in-game LRASM has defensive jammers (which works the same as DECM on planes). So it is possible for missiles to have countermeasures

Several of the Soviet/Russian big ASMs have DECM jammers built in and are modeled. If you look at the weapons endgame messages you'll see the DECM in action when trying to shoot them down.

Interesting, I hadn't noticed that DECM was already modeled. Maybe if/when we find out more about this strange Kh-101 I'll put in a db request.
