IMO, Rafales are somehow linked with Engine deal.

Even, Tejas Mk2 was on technically HOLD for 414s deal.

Katrina still has GaAs based AESA. (Correct me if required)

Tejas MK1A is only other fighter in IAF having AESA after Rafale & Jaguars at the moment.. we should accept anything whatever can be produced quickly - GaA/GaN/2052.

I think, it's almost certain we would buy more Rafales - IAF & GoI wants that.

^^ yes, but still okay if it gives added confidence to IAF.

It help us at least avoiding importing complete fighter jet itself.. gradually everything would be ours. See how ASTRA BVR is progressively becoming our primary choice.
