well supposedly the HUErca HUErea Brasileira (Brazillian HUEr force) already have extensive mainainence infrastructure and munition for F-5Es since they've been using it since forever. similar with F-4s in turkish,japanese and south korean air force or Mig-21 in indian air force. these used F-5Es will be extensively upgraded by Embraer

besides F-5Es have lower maintainence and flight per hour cost than Mirage 2000s. the reason why taiwan and UAE are also going to ditch their Mirages
