Probably M 88 Core is transfered under the ToT. Kabani core was unable to produce enough total Wet Thrust.

Medium thrust turbofans are actually pretty useful and flexible considering something like Kaveri or derivatives can actually be doubled up for AMCA and provide the IAF fleet with some backbone engine. If future fleet is Tejas variant heavy and TEDBF, Rafale. I wonder how much Rafale can accommodate an M88-Kaveri final engine. That's the way to go be to honest. Heavy drones - strike and wingman types can make good use of medium thrust engines. We'll see how those programs pan out.
Wasn't AMCA not going to have internal bays like KFX? Or am I thinking of something else
The Airborne Radar.
I don’t mean to nitpick... but from this poster, this AjnaEASA (once again fancy alphabet soup) just looks like a few cameras and a headset... maybe they should put a few bullet points with additional key features on the poster...
Interesting that they are looking to put an AESA seeker on the Akash SAM. AESA seekers on missiles is cutting edge stuff for today's standard.
One question is how modern is the Akash NG missile? The current Akash missile is based on the 2K12 Kub. That's quite old of a platform to put an AESA seeker onto.
Well akash only has outer similarities internal system now has significantly changed. And The Akash NG is extremely different from the Mk 1 and Mk 2.
It does have internal bay. However fifth gen fighters can all carry weapons externally as well when stealth isn’t required.
First flight by 2027 is ... optimistic.
