US will not sell anything more offense oriented than AIM-7 to Argentina, let alone anti ship missiles.
I was talking about the JF-17 deal, they mentioned A2A missiles but not anything anti ship (which would be the main threat).
I don't know if 12 is enough though. Double that to 24 and I'm not sure what the British can do to hold on to the Falklands.
I don’t think Thunders could do much against top of the line British fighter aircraft carrier either way. The important thing for Argentina is to rebuild capabilities at low cost.
I don't want to take the thread off topic but I don't think it's an impossible task.
A single Jf-17 Block 3 with Pl-15e will outgun F-16 with aim-120c.
The British have an airbase on the island. It can support Eurofighters, and if they sense Argentina is gearing up, 5th gen infrastructure would be built.
Argentina would need to disable this AFB, the coastal and C4I nodes, mount a successful landing, secure the island before the CSGs arrive, and then they'll need to keep those CSGs far enough away using Naval or Missile threats, or sink the carriers if they get within strike radius.
Such an offensive action is not "impossible" for a very operationally competent force with the required tools. Is the Argentinian military such a force, at present? I don't know much about their military, but I'd be surprised if it was. Either way, becoming such a force requires a lot more than a squadron or two of JF-17s.
NUAA.
Buenos días, soy de Argentina, leo el foro y estoy registrado desde hace mucho, pero prefiero leerlos antes que participar ya que los temas tratados superan en gran medida lo que pueda aportar..
por favor, tomar con mucho cuidado todo lo referido al JF-17 para Argentina.
El actual gobierno (así como todos los anteriores en realidad) tienen un nulo interés por la defensa nacional y la mayoría de los dichos sobre re equipamientos son falsos y sin ningún resultado tangible.
el JF-17 no escapa a esta realidad, y no es por algún problema con el avión en sí sino por el arraigado sentimiento de la Fuerza Aérea Argentina con el material de origen occidental.
el Jf-17, para muchos acá en Argentina, es la única opción viable para equipar a la Fuerza Aérea Argentina con un avión caza de primera línea que no se vea afectado por el embargo de Gran Bretaña.

Good morning, I am from Argentina, I read the forum and I have been registered for a long time, but I prefer to read them before participating since the topics greatly exceed what I can contribute.
please, take very carefully everything related to the JF-17 for Argentina.
The current government (as well as all the previous ones actually) have zero interest in national defense and most of the talk about re-equipment is false and without any tangible results.
the JF-17 does not escape this reality, and it is not because of any problem with the plane itself, but because of the deep-rooted feeling of the Argentine Air Force with the material of Western origin.
The Jf-17, for many here in Argentina, is the only viable option to equip the Argentine Air Force with a top-of-the-line fighter aircraft that is not affected by the British embargo.
