At the least they should get source codes to integrate our own choice of weapons.. Like derby ERER & Asraam.

Best option is to upgrade Su 30 mki of all the 3 he mentioned. Forget the other 2.
Mk2 Block 1 would have failed miserably. Mk1A was a much better option even if it cannot carry SPJ.
If it's F-404 then where is the ordér?
We had 24 F-404 in hands when the production began. Now with 16 SPs out and 8 on the floor all the engines have been consumed. So what will go in sp25 and onwards or we delay production for want of engines.
Remember till now no new order has been placed with GE for F404. Also GE had stopped the production of F404 if I am not wrong. SAAB produces F404 for Gripen but with lower thrust. Engines have lead time of 2yrs I suppose. HAL is one liar company with no ethics and regards to stick to production schedule.

I very also read GE 404 being stopped, but GE website still has the engine display ed
Trainers are being made with engine..
So it maybe in production

I suppose any follow-on orders have slipped under the radar and simply not been reported.
And no, F404 production is still ongoing. You forget that the Koreans are still making their T-50 family and it's still going strong.
There is a chance for the cancellation to go unreported, but very very rare for some thing we have ordered.
Especially when the question ing is going around.
Status Update:
Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar (AESAR) ‘Uttam’: AESAR ‘Uttam’ is an airborne fire control radar for our indigenous fighter aircraft LCA ‘Tejas’. It is a multi-mode radar which can be configured for fitment on different airborne platforms. Shake down sorties were completed in January, 2019 on modified executive Jet hired. Indigenous AESA radar integration and EMI/EMC tests on LCA ‘Tejas’ LSP2 aircraft are nearing completion and flight evaluation is planned shortly.

Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd will deliver 16 Tejas Mk-1 variant with FOC configuration by the end of this year. IAF is already operating 16+ Tejas Mk-1. IAF is already ordered 40 Tejas Mk-1 & 83 Tejas mk-1A will be ordered by year end luckily. New Tejas mk-1A will be equipped with AESA radar, Self Protection Jammers, long range BVRAAM & other varieties of weapons.
IAF won't have 16+ IOC2 Aircrafts for sure. If anything,it would be 15 only. SP6 was being used by HAL to complete testing. And no reports have emerged till now that HAL has handed over SP6.
Further, delivering 16 Aircrafts in the span of few months. It will more like be delivery starting from Oct/Nov this year and continuing till April/June of 2021.
After than from Nov/Dec of 2021 to mid of 2022 8 Twin seaters will likely be delivered.
And the first MK1A will come even more later.
