JF-17 Additional Flare Dispensers in Block-II & Upgraded Block-I

Nops. As told below, just simply off the radar and in future with AESA radars for anti radiation missiles to work successfully seems difficult.

Anti radiation means the missiles goes to the source of the radiation, once its off the missile doesn't knows where to go to or what to target except if it has a dual seeker in shape of a radar itself from which it finds the target and goes for it.

Flares for Infra red missiles and Chaff for radar guided missiles.

I hope this question does not sound stupid , but when a Missile is fired upon an Aircraft is there any system that shows which sort of missile is fire on you ? or pilots have to take necessary step to make sure which Missile is after him ?

RWR (Radar Warning Receiver) and MAWS (Missile Approach Warning System) are the requisite sensors and avionics sub-systems that perform the task you were inquiring about. For details google MAWS and RWR. Wiki explains it nicely in simple terms.
