Or just the chaff load in the BOZ decoy launcher ( 42 flare / 14 chaff ) ?

how many AIM-9 the GR4 can carry : two or four like the ADV ?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-09-02 AT 11:29 AM (GMT)]At present the GR4 does NOT have BOL dispensors as a standard fit. The GR versions have the capability to carry a maximum of two sidewinders.

The GR4 to the best of my knowledge has also NOT got the unique dispensors below the engine bays, as is optional on F3's.

I would suggest that the aircraft would require some rewiring/new programming to interact with the defensive systems mentioned above.
