You do understand why details of defensive equipment and tactics are classified, don't you?

You might also want to think about how much real world experience there might be of Typhoon's TRD, and how often it might be used in peacetime training.

You'd be MUCH better off asking about the generic advantages of having a TRD on any aircraft platform.

You can probably safely assume that Typhoon's TRD is more capable than older equipment, and really that's all you need to know.

Sites like:

Raytheon Company: AN/ALE-50 Towed Decoy System

give a good basic glimpse into TRDs generally.

You might follow up with:

For $21 you could read 'Effects of Towed-Decoys against an Anti-Air Missile with a Monopulse Seeker' by Jia-Hsin Yeh of the NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL at MONTEREY CA. I haven't.....

Effects of Towed-Decoys against an Anti-Air Missile with a Monopulse Seeker - Storming Media

and there are other papers at places like:
