Surely it's cheaper to contract out the 100 Sqn / FRADU role?

Something like this perhaps?

I'm sure if the contract specified AI equipped aggressors then either the rumoured ex-GAF F4s or some used F16/18 or MiG-29 could be included in the mix?

Can't see the capital spend to replace the airframes, but a 5 year contract might attract enough interest.
