Of course not but the F-15E/K/SG or whatever model you want is not only much cheaper than the Eurofighter it also offers logistical commonality with the US and still outclasses anything anyone else in the region will have for a long time.

If Australia could get over their pilot shortage issues they could easily field a force of 120-150 F-15s. Name someone in the region who can come anywhere close to countering that?
