Recently, Brazil, the largest country in South America, confirmed that President Lula will pay a state visit to China for six days in the near future. The latest information shows that when Lula visits China, he will bring a large enterprise delegation, and the special plane will not be able to sit down. This also shows that the two BRICS countries will greatly enhance their cooperation in economic and trade terms, because Lula's predecessor Bolsonaro followed the US policy toward China and delayed China-Pakistan cooperation too much time. Lula wanted to make amends.
In fact, Argentina, the second largest economy in South America, has recently become involved with China, and it is also related to the "Thunder Dragon" fighter.
The "Thunderbolt" fighter jointly developed by China and Pakistan
According to media reports, the Albanian defense minister and the ambassador to China recently discussed the possibility of introducing the "Thunderbolt" fighter.
A few months ago, when Argentina and China were discussing the introduction of the "Thunder Dragon," Algerian President Fernandes suddenly halted the project, saying that it was not as good as investing the money in other fields with the introduction of fighter planes. If the project is relaunched today, it may be stimulated by the Falklands issue.
At the India G20 Foreign Ministers' Summit held at the beginning of this month, Foreign Minister Cafiteau informed British Foreign Minister Cleavely that the Afghan side had decided to terminate the relevant agreement. Restart negotiations on sovereignty over the Falklands (known in Britain as the "Falkland Islands").
The British response to this is that there is no so-called sovereignty problem in the Falkland Islands. The idea is that the sovereignty of the Falklands is definitely owned by the United Kingdom, and Argenting cannot even negotiate a judgment.

Against this backdrop, Argentins naturally had to make some preparations. 1 9 8 2 During the Falklands War, although Argentins was close to the Falklands and supported by land forces, and the military base was just next to it, it faced British aircraft carriers and warships coming from afar. In the end, it still suffered a crushing defeat and lost the Falklands Islands.
Now, if the reopening of the Falklands talks is rejected by the British side, if Argentina wants to take back the Falklands and safeguard the country's territory and sovereignty, he must first make full preparations.
After all, although Britain's strength is far from the "empire that never sets," there are still 3,000 nails in the broken ship, and it is not easy to defeat it.
Perhaps, it is precisely against this backdrop that Ah Fang wants to buy the "Thunder Dragon" again. The Argentingian military listed several targets, including the "Thunderbolt" jointly developed by China and Pakistan, the "Guangguang" of the domestically produced fighter with India, the F A-50 of the ROK, and even the second-hand US F-1 6.
Although Argentina does not recognize it, the Falklands are still under British control
After repeatedly jumping in the choice between these types of fighters, Argentine finally fixed his eyes on the "Thunder Dragon" and "Radiance," and it was quite possible to choose one of them.
Before this, the Afghan side, which had already had deep contacts with China and Pakistan, suddenly called a halt, I am afraid that it was still worried about the pressure from the United States, because as far as the United States is concerned, South America is its own "backyard." In terms of economy, trade, and investment, the United States has paid close attention to it, and has not allowed China's influence to be projected on South America and the United States.
The Arab side or Xu is worried that once the Chinese "Thunder Dragon" fighter is introduced, it will be put into the "black list" by the United States immediately. On the contrary, it will brazenly support Britain, which is quite unfavorable to itself.
But is it really that easy to introduce the "brilliance" of the print? On the one hand, if India is fighting with the United States today, it is still regarded by the United States as an important cooperative partner, but even if it infiltrates into its own backyard, I am afraid that the United States will not allow it. As long as the US side greets New Delhi, I am afraid that the Indian side will not dare to sell its "brilliance" to Argentina.
Foreign Minister Argentina has proposed to the British side to reopen the negotiations on sovereignty over the islands
On the other hand, Britain is the former "host" of India, and it is still a Commonwealth country, and India still wants to give Britain some face, and London certainly does not want India to sell fighters to Argentina.
From this point of view, the Afghan side will still oscillate between "Radiance" and "Thunder Dragon"; although China supports Argentina's sovereignty over the Falklands, it will return to politics and will return to will. Moreover, the "Thunder Dragon" is a joint research and development between China and Pakistan, and it is not China alone who has the final say, and Argentina has to consider it well.
