Nothing against micromanagement when these changes cost in crores, but approval should be speedy.

Retractable IFR probe for MK2

Yes , I really couldn't get this part . What's the GoI doing sanctioning funds for an assembly jig irrespective its cost ?!

One would have thought this is part of the development costs of the Mk-2 sanctioned to ADA & supervised by the MoD.

Is it beyond the scope of the budgeted amount which is to say is it an additional cost or is the development of the Mk-2 being monitored at the highest level ?

The bottom placed sensor one is not EOTS. There is no EOTS but MAWS.

Tejas MK2 will be the base on which all our AMCA's LRUs will be proven!

Iirc mk2 was supposed to feature fixed refueling probe just like lca mk1a and rafale. This decision to use retractable probe should have came much later hence additional funding maybe .

Just a hunch.

No EOTS.
Side DAS missing.

I think side DAS is not that important. Of course it butchers overall view but a missile can't approach from side and attempt to get a hit. It would always be in a straight line to plane and hence the MAWS would always pick them up.

It seems you are confusing b/w DAS & MAWS. DAS is an arrangement of MAWS & fixed IRST functions
Apart from fixed SAMs, the mobile ones & MANPADS can pop up anywhere. In a good IADS these mobile SAMs will have real time info of enemy jets & can/will try to ambuh the targets.
Apart from common/generic startegies & tactics, pilots are also taught specific ones against each type of target. A stealth jet can sneak & exploit blind spots, that's the 5gen philosophy.
And now with networked sensors the 6gen would be super sneaker.
If 2 MAWS pair is used on top & bottom then considering overlap, their FoV could be 120+/- degrees still creating big side blindspots.
