    Argentina really needs a functional defense ability — but I wonder how the French actually believe they will receive their payment?

    Perhaps it can be wrote off as charity...

    Güeón — please pay attention. Knowing your very special character — I again would greatly recommend the knowledgable and quote filled Terence Hill as a very suitable partner who has an exciting and dynamic entertaining lifestyle:

    Although he's an unemployed VIRGIN living in his mother's BASEMENT, you can't deny he'd make a marvelous significant partner that could educate you in weird Latin quotations and he has an incredible appreciation of inflatable sex toys.

    I think you Güeón and Terence would indeed be a marvelous matched odd couple!

    We've planned an entertaining asado this afternoon — but nothing like your in your superior Argentina.

    Cheers!

    @Chicureo

    The purchase of the four OPVs was made through a loan from a French bank. In addition, the French Government intervened because they were very interested in carrying out this operation. I understand that payments are made between the shipyard and the bank. Surely the French Government is the guarantor.

    Argentina needs more high seas patrols. It should modernize, and transform, the three Class Type A-69 corvettes (also of French origin) into OPVs. France has 17 A-69 units in service. French technical expertise could be used to modernize them and simplify many functions (unnecessary for an OPV) so they are more economical to operate.

    As Long as they only use them in there territorial waters and not try to enforce themselves on the Falklands Fisheries.
