Careful what you say .....................it was Argentina who were the aggressors and invaded the Falklands.
Anyway, the reality of the situation is that Argentina is so broke, that there is virtually no budget for their military.
From an Argentinian point of view, the Chinese fighters would be I think the best option for them, rather than either the Swedish or Russian fighters they have already considered................but would the Chinese who are cautious, sensible business people, do a deal with a regime who has a history of not paying its customers?
Falkland belongs to Argentina.
Woah! Chinese dice right under Pentagon's noses. That should teach the stupid Brits to mess with a country's sovereignity. 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'
No it doesn't, and the fact that you called the islands 'Falkland' proves my point.
This thread is concerned with the subject of 'Argentina' updating its military forces', and not for members here to flame bait, based on their ignorance of the subject of the Falkland islands.
Basically, the airforce of Argentina is in such a dire state, that it has fighters that are over 50 years old, and of those only a very few can fly, due to spares shortages and lack of maintenance. Despite Argentina being in such a dire economical state, they somehow need to update their military, as they are now falling so far behind the other countries militaries in South America, such as Brazil and Chile. That is the real reason for them hoping somehow to acquire, modern fighter jets........and NOT to start another Falklands conflict, which would result in the total destruction of the Argentinian airforce!
Who is going to manufacture US goods at dirt cheap prices if US declares war on China for the sake of UK?
Ahem! Ahem!!
I wish we could fill the gap. But Indian industrial base has not yet developed yet. Barring Maharashtra and Gujarat other states won't match up. Especially when bengal is destroyed by the CPI-TMC nexus.
Vedanta planned to build the largest aluminum based industry in Orissa, the jhola wearing communists had to come along and spoil everything.
IDK the history of the Falklands War and frankly I don't care. :S Fact and my point is Britain successfully stopped a deal between Swedish company Saab and Argentina in buying the Gripen fighters. Britain interfered in a deal that they have no authority in. If Britain stopped a deal of Eurofighter that would be acceptable since it's a joint dev of UK. So Argentina retaliated. As a western country you don't want another western country's cordial relationship with China specially considering China's global domineering policy and Argentina's depressing economy. A complete lack of right there.
sure
What Indian view about China selling fighters to Argentina?
J-10 fits their bill quite well, and perhaps can take on EFT if deployed in numbers.
lol u do know Argentina were sanctioned by both US and UK, China did not do anything here, rather they are the only country that either did not sanctioning them or they can trade fighter with corn (Instead of paying for it), if Vietnam start making 4 gen fighter plane and accept flour as payment, they would too be considered.
Maybe India should tender their Teja and put their hat in the ring too.
i honestly dont know why people here think Falkland will be in any to do list on any Argentinian president now or even in the future.
Argentina is facing hack a lot of crisis other than just falkland. They are very close to become a bankrupt country (literally bankrupt) they do not have any money to do anything, people are flocking to Brazil and Chile and there have to be some problem to think Brazil and Chile is a better place you WANTED to be.
Kircher was described by local argentina as "La Chica Loca" the crazy chick...That is they dont have money to pay for public service, they still trying to go alone with buying and upgrading their armed force.
Falkland is pretty low on argie problem list, which rated from Internal matters, to Brazil to The crazy government and finally to Falklands.
