Glad to see that the Argentine finally got some modern planes now that the purchase of Messerschmidt Me109 and Spitfire Mk II failed.

I thought they were buying Fokker-Wulfs. Did the sale not go through?

They aren't a match for Tornados. It's as well because they've been pensioned off and the Argentines couldn't afford them. t's good to see that Argentina is “militarising” the South Atlantic though! ;-)
