In order to modernize the country's air force, Argentina has previously submitted a tender for fighter jets. According to the Argentine side, there will be an opportunity to choose the JF-17 Thunder Block III fighter from China as the country's main model. The JF-17 Thunder Dragon Block III fighter has been equipped with AESA active scanning array radar, and its combat strength is very strong, and the Pakistan Air Force has also given a very high evaluation of this type of fighter, but Argentina said that it would change its face in the process of purchasing fighters. Because Argentina chose a pro-American attitude, it would not buy JF-17 Thunder Block III fighters from China, and after Argentina chose to release pigeons, Argentina set its sights on American-made F-16 fighters. More and more countries are eliminating the second-generation aircraft in their hands to modernize the equipment of the Air Force, in recent years, second-hand F-16 fighters have become very scarce, Argentina will get a batch of F-16A/B fighters from the Air Force, but this batch of F-16A/B fighters has already completed the performance upgrade.
Since the Danish Air Force is equipped with F-35 stealth fighters, it is also planned to phase out a number of older F-16 fighters. According to the original plan, these F-16 fighter jets will be provided to Ukraine for use, so there is constant speculation that military aid will be provided to Ukraine fighter jets, of course, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has also taken a test ride of an F-16 fighter jet. Judging from the photos published by the media, the F-16 fighter jet inspected by Ukrainian President Zelensky is the F-16 fighter with the tail number 199 of the Danish Air Force.
Argentina also put forward a large number of conditions in the process of purchasing fighter jets, including that the ejection seats could not be used by the British company Martin Baker. In fact, Denmark does not want to make a loss-making deal, if these F-16 fighters are provided to Ukraine for use, on the one hand, it will not be able to obtain funds, and on the other hand, it will actively annoy Russia for such reasons and add more burdens to Denmark in the field of defense. After Argentina proposed to purchase F-16 fighters, the F-16 fighters that were supposed to be delivered to Ukraine were directly transferred to Argentina for use, which also made the Danish Air Force not make a loss-making deal. If Ukraine wants to continue to acquire F-16 fighter jets, the Danish side can also refuse on the grounds that there are not enough fighters to hand it over.
The United States now has the largest fleet of F-16 fighter jets, of course, the U.S. military also has many F-16 fighter jets whose service time is approaching the upper limit, but even if the United States has so many old aircraft, the United States is unwilling to provide military aid to Ukraine, but is asking some European countries, especially NATO member states, to increase their military aid to Ukraine. The war research institute believes that the United States is actually worried about completely tearing its face with Russia, of course, the United States is more worried that a large number of weapons and equipment will not be able to play their due role after military aid is given to Ukraine, but will become cannon fodder on the battlefield.
The United States has provided Ukraine with a considerable number of M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks, which constantly emphasize the ability to protect the main battle tank has seen continuous losses on the battlefield, it is not difficult to see that the United States Abrams main battle tank can not turn the tide of the war at all, if the F-16 fighter appears on the battlefield in Ukraine, the war research believes that Russia will not be soft.
