I thought they have already delivered 3-4 by now. Guess they are flying/under testing by HAL. Hopefully they would deliver the rest 7 by March 2024.

Why do we not have a bubble canopy like the trainers for single seaters as well? Is there any limitations for that?

What on earth are you talking about?? The Tejas twin seaters have a bubble canopy! And the all-around view is excellent from the Tejas cockpit, with the pilot seated high in the cockpit.

MK2 is all about the capability enhancement. With 1.5 m longer airframe and 10% more powerful engine, range, payload and other capabilities enhanced significantly over 50%. This is called engineering. It will be a much improved Mirage better in all aspects. Mirage 2000 is even today the most loved and favorite plane of IAF. Mk2 is going to be the mainstay of IAF for a longer time to come even after the arrival of AMCA. It will be a workhorse for IAF.
