Also, the M-346 is already certified to operate as an aggressor and DACT for frontline pilots since TLP 2016 for all Nato Red Flag exercises so this is another plus.

I hope that's the case. Japan is looking to build their own version based on the M-346 (T-X) but their actual first flight is probably at least a decade away so they might buy some M-346s as a stopgap.
