C'est normal, c'est pour simuler une armée de l'air où les pilotes qui ne voleraient pas assez

C'est ballot , ils vont en faire quoi de leur A4 Mirage F1 F16 etc.... ?

In 2018, the company received another $280 million to continue that training, and the contract expires this summer. The service decided to not renew the contract, and Draken has posted notices that it will lay off employees in Nevada as the contract expires.

The U.S. Air Force has decided to not renew an ongoing contract with Draken International for adversary air training at Nellis AFB, Nevada

While red-air companies such as Draken “do wonderful work for the Air Force, especially at our formal training units . . . where we train basic fighter pilots how to fly,” they aren’t effective against jets like F-22s or F-35s, Lt. Gen. David Nahom, the service’s deputy chief of staff for plans and programs, told the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee on May 17.

None of this impacts Draken's many other training assignments under contract across the United States and around the globe. The firm is also competing to acquire the ADAIR training contracts for Luke Air Force Base in Arizona and Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, which are currently being fulfilled by ADAIR competitor ATAC. Internationally, the firm's operations are rapidly expanding, not just in Europe, but in locales like the Middle East (Saudi Arabia), as well.

Donc on parle bien d'un contrat dans le NTTR pour la simulation d'opposition de 5ème génération, et pas du reste. Ce texte dit nullement que Draken a été remercié pour l'intégralité des contrats.

It seems clear that Nellis wants higher-end capabilities than what is currently being made available by Draken's fleet. This is not all that surprising. The migration to a more advanced, true 4th generation fighter capability equipped with datalinks, advanced radars, and things like infrared search and track systems has always been in the works. But the Air Force itself has stressed that it wanted to take a crawl-walk-run approach to ADAIR. These capabilities don't just appear on-demand in a matter of months.

Since 2015 Draken has flown “enemy aircraft” for high-end training events at the Nevada Test and Training Range, in exercises such as Red Flag and for the U.S. Air Force Weapons School
