Zitat:Argentina is considering procurement of JF-17 fighter jets: embassyhttps://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202303/1287349.shtml
The Argentine Embassy in China said on Tuesday that the South American country is considering procuring the JF-17 aircraft, with Chinese analysts saying on Wednesday that the fighter jet jointly developed by China and Pakistan is the best choice for Argentina in terms of performance and availability.
Argentine Ambassador to China Sabino Vaca Narvaja recently held a work meeting with Argentine Defense Minister Jorge Taiana and his team in Buenos Aires to promote cooperation with China in the field of national defense, the embassy said in a social media post on Weibo on Tuesday. [...] Fu Qianshao, a Chinese military aviation expert, told the Global Times on Wednesday that Argentina has long been seeking to procure new fighter jets to replace its aging and shrinking warplane fleet, but because of the issue of the Malvinas Islands, the UK has blocked Argentina's aircraft procurement attempts on the international market. [...] That is why the JF-17 is the most available fighter jet to Argentina, Fu said.
According to public information, the JF-17 has developed into three generations, often referred to as the Block 1, the Block 2 and the Block 3.
