I know not, but I strongly suspect binned - a good thing.
Why a good thing? There is plenty of life left in them as they are - providing air defence / Aggressor services to free up T2/3 for multirole (and so saving their airframes), or they can be upgraded for multirole ops as the Spanish are doing. If it was a good idea five years ago to retain them, why isn't it now?
