Argentina is in talks with the Chinese regarding the potential sale of 24 . I’ll believe this when I see the first one rolling down the runway. Until then it is just as I predicted; an announcement per month until the elections…..
Argentina Evaluating Offers to Buy 24 Fighter Jets
The Argentina air force has sent a technical team to China to discuss a possible buy of 12 to 24 Chengdu JF-17 Xiaolong (Thunder) combat aircraft, seen here armed with anti-ship missiles. (Chinese Internet photo)
BUENOS AIRES --- Argentina is talking with China about buying up to 24 FC-1 / JF-17 fighters capable of reaching the Falklands, as confirmed by the Minister of Defence, Agustín Rossi. He said that an official delegation will travel to China next week to begin the talks.
"The Chief of Staff of the Air Force (Mario Miguel Callejo) is going to China with a technical mission to explore the possibility of purchasing" the fighters, Rossi confirmed as he accompanied President Cristina Fernandez in announcing an investment of $930 million to equip the Army.
Argentina’s interest in the Chinese fighters was first reported by the London Sunday Express newspaper The possibility was first raised as part of the trade agreements signed by Fernandez during her recent trip to China.
“The aircraft is a single-seat, single-engine design capable of a top speed of Mach 1.8 at an altitude of 55,000 feet. It also has a combat range of 1,350 kilometers, which allows him to fly back and forth to Stanley from the base of Tierra del Fuego," Rossi explained during an interview with Radio America.
Rossi declined to give many details of the talks but confirmed that the intention is to buy "not less than 12 and not more than 24" aircraft. If the agreement did indeed materialize, he said it would be "something new for Argentina’s Air Force, which has always had Western equipment."
The defense minister said that China is not the only country with which negotiated for the purchase of fighter planes. For the moment, Argentina has "two formal offers" for Spanish Mirage F-1s and Israeli Kfir Block 60s. "We also have an informal French offer," he said, but avoided giving details.
Argentina will make its decision once all formal offers are on the table, but the intention is that it should happen before the end of the year. "Then, I'll take the options to the President to make the decision," Rossi confirmed.

Argentine military involved in ammunition stolen from the arsenal of the Army. Of the material found in the raids ordered by Justice
(Defensa.com) Federal Judge Carlos Vera Barros ordered raids on the homes of the military involved in the disappearance of 19,600 munitions Battalion 603 of Fray Luis Beltrán. The suspicion is that Army soldiers were involved in the robbery, not only ammunition but also weapons stockpile, which are injected into the illegal arms market at costs that can quintuple the official price. This is the second case of its kind that occurs in the Armed Forces of Argentina. A few days before, had gone missing TOW 2 missile Armored Cavalry Squadron 1 Plate.
Also, the police found a rifle and ammunition at the home of military service personnel meeting Stockpile Battalion 603 "San Lorenzo" in Rosario, where there had been a "missing" 26,000 bullets 9mm late last year, which could determine the questioning of persons living in the household. In the operation, in charge of the National Gendarmerie, there were seven raids: two in Rosario, four in the military district of the town of Fray Luis Beltrán and one in the city of Concepción del Uruguay, where cash is domiciled with the degree of colonel, who served in the military unit, which was dissolved by order of Defense Minister Agustin Rossi.
The complaint of missing ammunition introduced Colonel Raul Sanchez, head of Battalion 603 on 30 December. Bullets theft was discovered when the new manager of this military unit ordered a tonnage was made in the stock of arms and ammunition arsenal. Bullets do not have serial number or any traceability code can be identified. The only way to detect stolen ammunition was through banks that do have serial number and date of manufacture.
The worrying development for the disappearance of hundreds of bullets, which could serve to fully charge 2,000 guns, led the defense minister, Agustín Rossi, to order the closure of the Battalion and into retirement Stockpile director of the Argentine Army Colonel Victor Hugo Meola, a senior leader of the Force, also were passed to retire other officers. One of them, Guillermo Bonnefous, former head of Battalion 603, five non-commissioned officers who were in charge of control arsenal. Furthermore, "instructed the head of the Argentine Army, Lieutenant General César Milani, that all weapons, ammunition and other items are relocated to other military units in the country", instructing the army chief to create a Base Logistics Support and UMRE (Emergency Military Unit) at the premises occupied by the unit. Rossi stressed that "it is undeniable that in the last four years, two of the most resonant facts about missing weapons were in the arsenal of Battalion 603, while in others it nothing happened."
