Argentina was interested in buying Russian fighters.

According to the Argentine media, at the moment the authorities are actively discussing with Russia the possibility of buying a batch of MiG-29 fighters. Interest in Russian fighters is primarily due to the high efficiency of using these multi-purpose military aircraft, as well as a fairly low cost, which is in line with Argentina's budget for defense.

Initially, it was assumed that Argentina would pay much attention to the purchase of American or French fighters, however, their rather high cost, coupled with the fact that these aircraft practically did not prove themselves in real battles, does not provide a guarantee that the fighters will increase the country's defense capability.
