In war when aircraft are shot up are repaired locally unless there is significant damage and not recoverable mostly done locally
mirage rebuilt factory and especially the Australian package brought rebuilt repair and initial parts / component Repair capability and as well ame capability alternate mission equipment repair / manufacturing capability which also covers F-16
