Not sure they buy enough Vig's to make local production worth it, but... If they went with the Vig, there were half-a-dozen other countries license building J79's...   If Australia decides in a J79 instead of building Atars under license, you've opened up possibilities for either the Mirages (also were locally built in the real world, and perhaps becomes an Australian Kfir) or the Starfighter (never acquired by Australia, but most were built overseas, so I don't see any barriers to CAC licensing).

Just thinking "aloud", as it were.


ETA: How could I forget the Australian Phantoms which were also J79 powered!?
