Russia plans to offer Argentina long-range Su-24 fighter-bombers | global aviation report
The Argentinian fighter jet deal involves a lease/lend of 12 Sukhoi Su-24 supersonic, all-weather attack aircraft. They are old but NATO still regards the code-named “Fencer” as a “super-fighter” with an impressive 2,000-mile range and ability to deploy laser-guided missiles.
Argentina's Fighter Purchase May Threaten Britain - Business Insider
Dec. 29, 2014
According to a report in the Daily Express newspaper, the Argentine Air Force is set to get a dozen Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer attack planes from Russia in return for foodstuff.
Due to this, the UK Ministry of Defense is in the process of reviewing the Falkland Islands air defenses. The delivery of the supersonic, all-weather attack aircraft could pose a threat to the islands, referred to as “Malvinas” by Argentina.
According to Jane’s, the islands current British air defenses include four Eurofighter Typhoon jets, Rapier SAM (Surface to Air Missile) systems, along with about 1,200 troops permanently stationed in the South Atlantic base.
Even though the Typhoons are modern enough to deal with a dozen Su-24s, the Soviet-era twin-engined two-seater are able to perform ultra-low level surface and maritime strike missions. The planes can be outfitted with a wide variety of General Purpose as well as Laser Guided Bombs and stand-off missiles, such as the Kh-31 (AS-17 “Krypton”) anti-radiation and anti-shipping sea-skimming missiles.
We don’t know whether the potential deal includes armament; still the possible delivery of Su-24s to Argentina makes the Falkland Islands a bit more vulnerable to an attack by the Fuerza Aérea Argentina.

..it is highly alarming that our government should take responsibility and do something for our friend....All these stupid sanctions are not good at all for any country and how other countries can be so rude on a single country...?This time is really bad for India and it's time for India to show the true worth of friendship for our friend..Russia had helped India many time in our hard time without thinking of their own and now i am really very very angry on India's behaviour towards Russia...
....Where is the friendship now....?....See China and learn from that country....She is helping Russia in it's hard time by purchasing oil from Russia on high prices inspite of knowing that the price of oil had fallen low...That's called a true friend not India which still wants business and stupid politics like stuff...
