Can RIO jettison stores with out pilot command?

I'm making a mission, and I've finally got the AI to not jettison their bombs as first sight of the enemy. 
But when I jumped behind the stick and did the mission I got into a little scrap, I got some light damage to the plane and I did some acrobatics to take down two MiGs, when I ran out of ammo and saw the last MiG being chased by 4 F14s I decided it was time to bomb, But when I went to the jester menu to select ordinance, I had nothing to select and a quick outside view showed my two MK84s were gone.
Did my RIO do this on his own or were they released on acount of the damage I got?

I've lost stores when taking a hit before. Took an archer once and survived, but saw that I had one external fuel tank missing and most stores were gone too.

Yes I too have seen pylons and weapons gone after taking a hit.  I think I've even had missiles stay on after a hit but then they weren't working when I needed them.

Yes, the RIO can jettison the stores without the pilot having any input on it. I've done that hundreds of times flying in the DCS Tomcat as a RIO myself.

 

Now in regards to Jester, I have no idea if he does that or not, as I have never flown with Jester. :dunno:

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

If I’m not mistaken, the master arm switch up front needs to be on first before RIO can jettison stores.
