Recently, the British Finance published an article titled: JF-17's South American breakthrough encountered a difficult situation. The content is that Argentine President Alberto Fernandez ruled out the possibility of purchasing aircraft for Argentine armed forces. He made an interview with the British " Financial Times ". He said... Argentina must allocate its resources to things that are more important than buying military weapons..." This statement ruled out the provision of Argentine armed forces in the short term. What type of supersonic fighter and other aircraft (possibility), that is, the export of " Xiaolong " to Argentina may be stranded.
Previously, the Argentine ambassador to China visited "AVIC" on May 20 this year. The picture was released by the official microsoft of the Argentine Embassy in China. At the same time, Argentine Air Force has just completed different evaluations, and the Ministry of Defense has begun to integrate the quotation, and the president made this statement.
html l7 background map is the focus of Argentina's conflict with Britain Malvinas Islands . Argentina is obsessed with the archipelago, but it is powerless in the face of the "powerful" British navy and air force.
Argentina's Air Force did not improve much after the 1982 war. The reason is that the first is that the UK requires Western countries to embargo on Argentina's weapons! And the countries in the world that can make more advanced fighter jets are all British allies, so it is impossible to sell weapons to Argentina. Second, Argentina began in the mid-to-late 1980s It has been bad. Industrial and agricultural production has basically completely regressed. When China's power continues to decline, it still owed a large sum of money from the World Bank . It has not been able to repay it until now. It has also demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall. foreign exchange is extremely short of . It is still short of money when it is sanctioned. How to improve the quality of the army's equipment?
It was not until 2015 that Argentina Air Force's "Super Military Flag" and "Sky Eagle" attack aircraft reached its service life. Argentina thought of an update. The candidate models of future supersonic fighter that were planned at that time were: China JF-17 JF-17, General Power F-16A/B MLU and India is "glorious", China's proposal has certain advantages, and the US/Denmark's refurbished F-16 is also quite competitive.
The Argentine Air Force senior delegation visited Pakistan and took a photo with the Foxconn Block III fighter. vertical tail wing on indicates the assembled Block III aircraft 7.
In response to the possibility that China may become a defense product, Fernandez also clarified that "...we are (although) in a very unequal continent... but there is no problem of war there... For us, there are more important things besides purchasing weapons".
Brazilian Air Force "Gripen", it may be the most advanced fighter in South America at present. If the Argentine Air Force is equipped with the JF-17 Block III, it will have the most advanced fighter in South America.
The Argentine president's statement was of course "attacked" by the opposition, saying that political leaders lack the will to understand the national defense issues and their scope. If we consider Brazil, Chile , Peru or Colombia , this idea does not seem to be in line with the situation (judgment) sensitivity of a country's political head.
Fernandez's statement also triggered serious doubts about the future of the ongoing Argentine Armed Forces dressing project, saying: This situation inevitably requires government correction or approval.
Some readers will ask: The first batch of Argentine Air Force purchased 12 "Jiaolong III" aircraft, and the high-end version was only 50 million US dollars. With the missile and logistics support equipment plus one unit, it will be 1 billion US dollars. Is there any money in Argentina yet? There is indeed not! In 2020, the new crown of broke out globally. Argentina's GDP grew negatively by 9.9% that year, only US$383 billion. According to Chinese companies that trade with Argentina, the balance owed that year has not been settled this year, but the attitude is sincere. He repeatedly apologized and said that if he is rich, he must pay interest first... From the perspective of the senior government leaders, he has no money at all. International Monetary Fund has been forced to force debts (in March this year, a US$45 billion debt repayment agreement was reached), so the Air Force must let go of the matter of selling aircraft.
Such a good place, a large area of land suitable for cultivation! Rich mineral resources... It turns out that $1 billion cannot be obtained, it is really hard to describe! In short, we cannot use the "literary and youth thinking" method to govern the country.
