Well NATO/ICAO standards for aircraft service life is 4,000 flight hours (40 years). So, with 3,200 on it already when it's bought, that mean it's only going to have around 8,000 flight hours left. I guess about 8 years left on them.

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani visited Bahawalpur Cantt and Khairpur Tamianwali, today, to witness formation level training exercises.
The exercises included training for conventional operations in the desert terrain, involving mechanized forces and PAF. Training for conduct of operations against militancy was also part of these exercises. COAS appreciated the high standard of training displayed by participating troops. He underscored the significance of operational preparedness against the entire threat spectrum.

[h=2]Mexico[/h]
Mexican soldiers found a marijuana field and incinerated the drug as part of the Culiacan-Navolato operation. More than 40.000 people have been killed in rising drug-related violence in Mexico since December 2006, when President Felipe Calderon deployed soldiers and federal police to take on organized crime.

Re: Argentine Armed Forces

From my understanding the airframes where rebuilt and parts replaced. The work performed returned the aircraft to the equivalent of low fight hours. In 2016 the A-4AR will have 20-years of service and hopefully a process of replacement selection will begin.

Re: Argentine Armed Forces

Excellent! That's good to hear. What about the engine itself? Was it replace or upgraded in anyway?

Re: Argentine Armed Forces

I don’t know this for sure. So I am just repeating what I have been told, so please take it with a grain of salt. When the Air force purchased the aircraft they also acquired half a dozen engines and airframes for replacement parts. The Fabrica Militar de Aviones in Cordoba has an engine refurbishment center. I believe that the aircraft engines are service regularly there. The facility in Cordoba is in the process of refurbishing the Army fleet of UH-1 helicopters. See posting #33 by Mig-29

[h=2]Alpine Unit[/h]
Israeli soldiers from the Alpine Unit walk in the snow during a demonstration of their skills for the media on Mount Hermon, near the Israel-Syria border January 22, 2012. The Golan Heights form a strategic plateau between Israel and Syria of about 1, 200 square kilometers (460 square miles). Israel captured it in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed it in 1981.
