US approves nearly $1 billion weapons package to outfit Argentinian F-16s

Arms regulators have approved a weapons and support package valued at nearly $1 billion meant to help Argentina stand-up its planned fleet of used Lockheed Martin F-16 fighters.In approving the sale of fighter weapons and support, Washington described Argentina as a “major non-NATO ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress in South America”. That position is a relatively new stance for the USA, one resulting from Argentine president Javier Milei’s recent turn away from the authoritarian bloc of Russia and China, and toward the US-led West.
