Defense: For now only parades
Conducting parades in commemoration of the bicentennial of our independence was an indication of the relocation of the Armed Forces in the official consideration and probably also social. In the words of Defense Minister Julio Martinez, announcing the event: "In the previous government there was abuse, persecution and lack of respect for our armed forces, which were hidden" and he added: "these parades are not to show power, we do not have power because we have inherited as Armed Forces with a lack of capacity and budget".

"Argentina is absolutely militarily deficient to all the nations in the region"
On the day of the date the Secretary for Planning, Logistics and Coordination of the Military Assistance Emergency Walter Ceballos was interviewed in Counterpoint, Radio Cultura 97.9 program, where he made important statements about the current state of the Armed Forces, and especially on the Argentina Air Force.
Asked about the possibility that Argentina "does not have more planes by 2018" (according to the interviewer), the Secretary clarified that Argentina is with diminished strength from years of disinvestment in their weapons systems.
I mention the huge gap between the current situation and 1974, when the interceptor aircraft Mirage 3 were incorporated, which meant having to then according Ceballos the "most modern military aircraft and equipped with all Latin America". I also assure you that Argentina is an absolute delay facing all countries in the region in terms of its defense system.
An important detail was the mention of operational aircraft forces, among which feature just 8 units of IA-58 Pucara aircraft from about 38, between 6 and 8 units Tucano, about 3 units of 34 weapon system A- 4AR, and the transport system about 5 planes Twin Otter, 3 Saab 340 aircraft, two F-28 aircraft and about 3 Hercules C-130 systems. Of the latter, one is modernized and one more in the modernization process.
After clearing the air operational capacity of Argentina, I mentioned that seeks to finalize the plan replacement supersonic aircraft seeking to incorporate 2017 new or old aircraft as a replacement weapon system Mirage. modernization and enhancement of Pucara and Tucano systems are also sought.
As for the replacement of the Mirage system mentioned four alternatives: on the one hand have Israeli and French bids for Kfir and Mirage F1, and on the other hand is still evaluating the option for new aircraft both Italian and Korean.
The idea of the Ministry of Defense is making the decision later this year. Similarly, I do not rule out that there may be up to a 5th option for replacing the lost capacity of the Argentina Air Force.
Defence Policy
"There is no democratic, republican and independent country without a defense system" stated the Secretary and then continue with "Democracy needs to ensure the defense of the country".
Asked about the defensive situation and different threats, the respondent clarified that Argentina continues to use the system of "defensive defense hypothesis", noting that Argentina has no conflict hypothesis.
On the other hand, clarified the differences between the characteristics Hypothesis conflict with the National Defense Act of 1988, where clear threats were neighboring countries, while the current doctrine involves ensuring the defense capabilities of the invasion of the country. It also clarified that the forces continue to provide logistics security forces in cases of drug trafficking and terrorism assistance.
I ended the interview by mentioning that currently control the territory is carried out with about 6 to 8 radars 36 planned in the SINVICA. Each radar would cost about 16 million dollars, and plans to boost its production to reach about 4 units per year.
