Summary

  • The Argentine Air Force operates different types of aircraft, but its combat strength lies in its fighter jets, including the Lockheed Martin A-4AR Fighterhawk and the FMA IA-63 Pampa.
  • The A-4AR Fighterhawk was originally an American-made jet, but it was modified by Lockheed Martin for the Argentine Air Force, making Argentina the first export customer for the aircraft.
  • The FMA IA-63 Pampa, designed by Argentina's FMA in collaboration with Dornier, has been in service since 1984 and has gone through different variants, including a combat-optimized version.
