An EW value of 3 is an EW value of 3. That is one that is one more than 2, and one less than 4. It is nothing to do with a specific type of electronic warfare system. It cannot be - as the game has no concept of infrared, radar, laser optical or whatever in terms of AAA warfare.

Well, I can be mistaken but the principles of IR jammers (chaffs, flares, some decoys etc.) for land and air units are mostly the same.
So here's the Mobhack's Help quotation:
".....A value of 1 in this case is 1 shot of Arena active anti ATGM countermeasures, 2 is 2. 3 is 1 shot of Visual and Infrared Screening Smoke (VIRSS) which ejects anti TI smoke, possibly linked to an IR Jammer as well...."
I repeat, I can be mistaken, but it seems to be right way for aircraft/helicopter IR jammer's estimation in EW points.
And BTW - Could you clarify for me the criteria of in-game EW estimation? What is it based on?

And the USA/NATO tends to have better EW numbers than the Soviet ones.

Is it assumptions, or you have documentary proof?

Thanks for info, but Internet links would be better.
As for me, I have books on the subject too - but as you can see I use only internet sources. So anyone can check them.
