Sounds like a burning A$$ neighbour with a Least ComBAT Aircraft from which a Bat can fly better

Purchase will tell what exactly Argentina wants . If they want to invade the island , they will need more than fighters . They can still takeover island with current resources but main question is , will they be able to defend it after taking over.

We have seen iraq war, missiles can destroy runways / ground target so only relying on fighters will not be a good idea.

They will need atleast two good submarines preferably Qing-class subs . Once they will get hold of island. Two submarines can guard the island from invading ships.

Yeah they should wind up Typhoon production as thunder has over come the typhoon

Argentina just want a fighter be able to reach the Stanley base for Hit and Run easily with a fighter that could give them some edge on the negotiating table. They know they cant take over and sustain such adventure for long.
Thunder in double numbers of typhoon deployed at one time could do the job easily, armed with BVR and stand of weapons. An Anti ship like C-802 would also be a formidable weapon if used properly like they did exocit with Mirages

Argentine technical mission to China to assess the purchase of FC-1/ JF-17 jet fighters
Published March 2, 2015 | By admin

Negotiations remain secret but according to Argentine sources the purchase could range between 14 and 20 aircraft, basically the FC-1/F-17 ‘Thunder’ which is manufactured by Chendu Aircraft Corporation in association with Pakistan. The single engine fighter is considered modern, affordable for developing countries, and has been tested in combat.

Another option is the Chengdu J-10B, and according to the website China Military Online, closely linked to the Red Army, this fighter has the capability of confronting the “RAFs’ Typhoons stationed in the Falkland Islands”. The website argues that purchasing the FC-1 ‘would be a waste of money’ and the air war expert Xu Yongling points out the J-10B can be equipped with mid-range air to air missiles and close range missiles, comparable to the US AIM-120 and the ‘Sidewinder’.

But contrary to previous offers for renewing the Argentine air force fleet, from Spain, France, Israel and Brazil, the Argentine pilots and support teams have no experience with Chinese jets or equipment. This will be the first time that Argentine technicians will assess ‘capabilities and logistics“.

”The purchase in China is one of several options on the table to replace the Mirages“, according to sources close to Argentine Defense minister Agustín Rossi in reference to the Spanish refurbished Mirage F1, the French Mirage 2000 and Israel’s Kfir offers.

Likewise Argentina’s defense links with China are believed to be quite advanced in reference to the supply of ‘Malvinas Class’ offshore patrol vessels, a polar icebreaker exploration vessel to replace the ”Almirante Irizar” and the 21-ton infantry armored vehicle Norinco VN1 8×8 with 105 mm gun and 120 mm mortar-armed versions, which also includes an amphibious version.

According to Jane’s Defense Weekly if the agreement is concluded, it could mark a major step in Argentina’s long-standing effort to revive its military capabilities and would constitute a major success for China’s 15-year endeavor to expand its military influence and market share in Latin America.

It must also be remembered that in 2011 the Fábrica Argentina de Aviones (Argentine Aircraft Factory: FAdeA) reached an agreement to start co-producing China’s Changhe Z-11 light helicopter.

Argentina needs to modernize its air force quite desperately. Western aircrafts are difficult for them to get because of UK hence China is the ideal choice. J-10B would be the best choice to but put against typhoons but I think Argentina should go for a mix of both FC-1 and J-10

 

[SrNair]

Why didnt they chose the J 10 if they were that much close with China?
