I am really surprised to hear about this. So Argentina has five Super fighter planes just sitting in storage that need spare parts and now they are going to the Ukraine?
Infobae said a few days ago that the Argentine government put together an aid plan for Ukraine that includes the shipment of five Super Etendard fighter planes that are in disuse, due to the embargo applied by Great Britain against Argentina as a result of the War in the Falkland Islands in 1982. France's participation is key to overcoming this geopolitical stumbling block, and that is why both Chancellor Diana Mondino and Petri have been working for weeks to advance in this secret move that also involves the United States and NATO.
Mondino addressed this complex issue during the meeting he had in Paris with French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné, in a stealthy meeting he starred with NATO in Brussels in early May, and when he visited Jake Sullivan - Joe Biden's National Security Counselor - in his office in the West Wing of the White House.
In order for this idea to come to a reality, Argentina will also have to overcome some geopolitical obstacles. Those planes are inactive at the Puerto Belgrano base (south of the province of Buenos Aires) and need a spare part that must be provided by the United Kingdom.
The Government's plan has devised a bypass to overcome the British embargo and allow Ukraine to access warships.
Argentina would make a swap with France: the Super Etendard for other military equipment - drones or helicopters, according to what was proposed -, and Emmanuel Macron's administration would be in charge of putting the new cartridges to the ejector seats so that the ships are in a position to fight against Russia.
