It might be a start, if true, to indigenise the Al-31FP. Let see how it goes and how much time it takes.

If we consider all the deals of C-390 per unit cost including all the other cost is between ~140$-210$ million. Now, if at all there is talk of barter trade then number 80 of C-390 is high, 40 would be more appropriate for 32 odd tejas Mk1a and 24 LCH.

120 kN for the Tejas Mk2 would require significant changes to the airframe and almost certainly larger air intakes as well. Unless you want the engine to be starved of airflow.

As per the video posted in above post, there is degradation of 7-8% of thrust in case of 404 and if it is same for 414 then the thrust of 414 will come down to ~90-92KN so why restrict upcoming flatrated Kaveri-90Kn to just Tejas-Mk1A, it should also be use in TEDBF/AMCA Mk1.
