Do you know that USN has something very similar to Brite Cloud in their inventory? and iam not talking about ALE-50 or ALE-55

It's been in the inventory for a really long time, as in decades now

I don't think anyone talk about RT-1489 Gen-X in that thread

Sincere apologies, I mis-read it as brite cloud.

Gen-X started production in 1991.

For some reason, this decoy is extreme secret. I can't find many information on the net

Do you guys use it often? is it much better than chaff ?
Do USAF uses it also or only USN
