If the plan was to go down the low performance route then PC21 would probably be a better option than L39.

If we still view ourselves as a nation that wants a first rate trainer aircraft and Air Force then T7 or T50 should be the best options. M346 is already a little legacy and I have doubts about Leonardo’s ability to produce and support a decent sized fleet. I also worry about the fuel load of the M346 having fought them and seen how quickly they run out of fuel.
