12.7 Billion USD is included in the total amount of 40.5 Billion USD. If 100% of the capital budget is used , and on average 15% is the first advance payment , we can sign deals upto 75 billion USD in worth. Covers all the purchases , from fighter jets to S400, to Rifles to Radars.

We do not need to pay the entire sum in the first year. The advance payments is only 15% of the total amount.

Well the Rafales and Mirage 2000 can make do with similar arrangements , then LCA certainly can.

BARC is definitely working on systems, but they are specifically for SSBN and SSN and are in a class of ~150 MW. Meanwhile for EMALS , US ACs would have 2 A1Bs , each with 300MW+ capability.

Not so easy , powerful nuclear reactors too are needed to power the EMALS, and USA is not ready to give us that tech. And is not willing to have Russian Nuke reactors. That's why you are not hearing any thing about EMALS now a days.

Rafales come with CFT too , so I don't think this would be required.
