Pretty basic question here. What are "chaff" and "flare" buckets? I could guess but that would just waste words. (:
Flares are used to turn missiles away and chaff is used to hide us from radar if we are being tracked. The buckets are just the container that holds the individual chaff and flares on the aircraft.
