Argentina receives six more F-16s, doubling fleet to twelve

Six additional F-16 aircraft are en route to Argentina, having stopped in the Canary Islands, and will arrive at Río Cuarto Military Area to join six units delivered in December 2025. This delivery doubles Argentina's F-16 fleet to twelve, reflecting continued modernization of its air force. The move signals deepening defense ties with the United States and a shift in Argentina's military procurement posture.
