Flares, chaffs, nixies, etc, are all part of the generalised ECM rules.

Here's the dividing lines for SR philosophy:

If it makes the weapon more likely to hit, it's called Intelligence.

If it makes the target less likely to be hit, it's called ECM.

If it counters out something that makes the target less likely to be hit,
it's called ECCM.

And if it counters out the ECCM, it's called ECCCM. No, it doesn't go any
further. Don't be ridiculous.
