The US government has authorized the sale of 38 F-16 Black 10/15 fighter jets to Argentina for US$338 million.

The US government has authorized the sale of 38 F-16 Black 10/15 fighter jets to Argentina for US$338 million.

A report by the US Congressional Committee on Foreign Affairs for July published a congressional announcement of the transfer of six F-16 Block 10 and 32 F-16 Block 15 fighter jets at a cost of approximately US$338,695,634.

The above notification also clarifies that a package including support, equipment and technical information/maintenance for 38 aircraft has been included, all coming from the Danish government.

The announcement concludes by noting that the potential arrival of F-16s in Argentina has the approval of all parties involved, stating that “this transfer is consistent with the security assistance objectives of the United States.” For the policy of compromise practiced by Washington.

To complete the transaction, the Argentine and U.S. governments must resolve certain bureaucratic issues to move to the next stage. For Argentina, the administration will go ahead and sign a third-party transfer document, which is a US requirement for recipients of security articles, services or technical data of North American origin, if you want to transfer, remove. or to change the end use of such materials, you must obtain the prior written approval of the Department of State.

Once the Argentine government accepts the terms of the TPT, the United States will receive that approval, which will allow congressional approval to be finalized. The next phase will involve formalizing the purchase of F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets under the contract, which should be extended to additional items requested in due course.
