Argentina has said it is now approaching France for a short-term aircraft to replace its retired Dassault Mirage fleet having failed to purchase the US Navy's Northrop F-5E Tiger IIs aggressor aircraft, which are still in use.
Following a meeting between Argentine Defence Minister Julio Martínez and his French counterpart, Jean-Yves Le Drian, in Paris on 14 June, Martínez said a possible sale of 12 Mirage F1s was discussed and that the sale could be followed by Mirage 2000s in an undisclosed variant.
