Could there be a Military requirement
What a strange question! Of course there "could" be. There "could" be an airforce with a useful mix of combat types, or a long range maritime patrol capability.
But there won't be.
Yet it seems that in the USA where they do still have a properly equipped Force their trainee pilots wouldn't be able to cope with it so you won't win there either.
Unless, of course, we sent candidates of Shytehawk's calibre over there to show them how...
he he - now there's a plan!
