Anbei ein neuer Strang für die Seestreitkräfte Argentiniens (hatten wir noch keinen). Offenbar plant man in Argentinien die Anschaffung von U-Booten der Scorpene-Klasse. Seitdem tragischen Verlust der San Juan 2017 mit der gesamten Crew, ist es mit dem Bestand der argentinische U-Boot-Flotte auch nicht mehr weit her. Bleibt die Frage, wie viele Boote man für 2 Mrd. Dollar gedenkt anzuschaffen...

Zitat:Argentina in advanced talks to acquire Scorpene-class submarines from France [...]https://armyrecognition.com/news/navy-ne...rom-france
The deal, reportedly valued at over $2 billion, is under discussion between the Argentine government and French defense contractor Naval Group. [...]
The advancement in talks coincides with Argentine Defense Minister Luis Petri's official visit to Paris, during which key discussions were held to finalize the potential agreement. According to various sources, the two nations are close to signing a Letter of Intent that would outline the terms for the acquisition of the submarines, including the provision of associated services such as spare parts and training.
This move comes at a critical time for Argentina's Navy, which has been without operational submarines since the tragic loss of the ARA San Juan in 2017. The lack of operational subs has severely diminished the Navy’s capacity for maritime control, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Currently, the Argentine fleet consists of two non-operational submarines, the ARA Santa Cruz and ARA Salta, the latter of which is primarily used for training purposes at the Mar del Plata Naval Base.
