Default "sidekick" jammer

I've been using the perry and the subs lately in order to have some skills for when noone wants a human helo or P-3. I noticed under the specifications that something called a "sidekick" jammer is employed on the FFG-7 and is modelled in the game.

I went online to see what it is and the closest I came are 2 incidents in which FFG-7s were hit by Iraqi Exocet missiles. Knowing about the falkland debacle (no-offense to the british guys around) it's a miracle these ships survived. Anyway, after the second incident the ships were given these "sidekick" jammers I guess to help avert missiles.

I was wondering, it says the jammer is modelled in the game, but can it really throw off a missile? and if so, what chance does it have of doing so?
