Does not appear to have been a problem with ATACs KFIRs or competitor Draken's 25-aircraft Mig-21BIS fleet. Clearly plenty of US military FJ retirees love the opportunity to be involved in this sort of activity.

This is what ATAC gets involved in:

ATAC - Operations

Also, the tactics employed by the aircraft's previous operator is pretty irrelevant. It's more about providing threat simulation through the use of clever electronic emulation. For instance, in the case of Draken's A-4Ks, F-16MLU.
