Would be very surprised if chaff/flares were in El Al, can you imagine the mayhem of an accidental discharge on the apron...., can you chaff this type of radar missile? Thought it was only the low level stuff? I heard a few years back in Muscat Oman, a C17 was coming in and they had forgotten to disarm the auto chaff/flare system, she was firing off flares on final every time the SSR painted her. Those living below not happy campers!
Trouble with an airliner at altitude, it's a drum tight aluminium balloon, one good jab with a sharp object.....
