Do IRCM jammers work for Soviet aircraft in the game?
Yes, they make locking IR guided AAM’s much more difficult from the rear hemisphere.
Not sure if and how latest AAM’s with IRCCM (AIM-9M and similar) are affected as well though.

These planes should have a developable tool like helicopters have.

Well, it’s integrated in the case of those aircraft, not a module. But it’s there…

IRCM jammer only in Su-25T and Su-39.
SM3 and 24M have MAWS.

The ones with seeker shutoff type IRCCM (like 9M, or AAM-3) act like it’s a constant flare, so they shut off their seeker. You can still lock I think and if you use radar slaving you can hit stationary targets (like helis) with it, as the missile will fly straight. Been a while since I tried tho, so I don’t remember if it actually prevented locking (like with the sun) or not.
Missiles with the FOV gating (like R-73 and Magic 2, but also most manpads) are immune to IRCM. They only get affected by DIRCM and only at a much shorter range.
