The Rafale and what you know about it.

If you want one, we’ll give you one, but we don’t need one – we do smarter things than that

If we can have freedom to fully integrate our own pods with rafale , that will be enough.

As I alluded to in my last post,

A few posts above, You put up a good article about the Rafale EW and the coming SEAD
The article included the new Falcon SIGINT, which I think is a game changer for France and I posted about it before, It is good

Then you go and say something stupid, EA isn't notable on any platform yet, Denying the need of a force multiplier, doesn't make it better

I don't think that will be enough, EA will be more than just hanging a pod, no matter how good it is, The architecture has to be integrated into the avionics, sensor fusion,

Not an easy task, Your SU-30 uses the Russian system, which is already done
We could even give you a Growler pod, but it needs the architecture sensor fusion to make it work

Boeing EA-18G Growlers of the RAAF’s No. 6 Squadron have started using the Raytheon AN/ALQ-249 NGJ-MB pod.

My post mentioned Integrate not hanging.

Agreed, but it would need an entire new system, It's too hard and cost prohibitive, They have the SPECTRA self defence jamming,
If it was easy, the Rafale would have a dedicated EA pod,
As I said, your SU already had the Russian system, to hook your EA into
