Argentina - Fuerza Aérea Argentina
The Argentinean Air Force had been looking for a replacement of its old Mirage III intercept and attack aircraft for some time. Considering the great financial problems the country has faced the last years, these plans have been put on hold. The Argentinean Air Force is considering to buy up to 48 fighter aircraft.
In May of 2006 the Argentinian Chief of Staff stated that the F-16 wasn't in the running for this fighter bid since Argentinian airstrips have traditionally a lot of durt and stones on them so the lower intake would be a high risk for FOD. Probably the Argentinians will go for the Mirage 2000 just as its neighbour Brazil. A decision hasn't been taken up to now.
