Citation :: Argentine Army receives new vehicles

Santiago Rivas, Buenos Aires - Jane's Defence Weekly

05 April 2020

The Argentine Army received its first batch of 10 Ford Ranger 3.2 XLS 4×4 MT6 pick-up trucks on 31 March. The new vehicles will begin to
replace the service's old Mercedes-Benz 230Gs.

The pick-ups, which were built at Ford's factory in Buenos Aires, were militarised by local company Igarreta. Modifications have included an
air intake on the top, a large fender on the front incorporating a winch, reinforced suspension, a new electrical system, NATO-standard lights
for night operations, fittings to carry a radio and four FAL rifles, roll protection, off-road tyres, a towing winch, tools, two 20-litre fuel drums,
and additional coverings to accommodate troops or cargo in the rear.

The purchase process for the new vehicles began in early 2019, when a request for proposals was issued and by mid-2019 Ford/Igarreta and
Toyota Argentina had presented prototypes for evaluation, the latter with a modified Hilux. In December 2019, the Ranger was selected as the
winning solution and the first order for 10 vehicles was placed.

The aim is to continue testing the vehicles before a follow-on order is placed, with the army ultimately needing to replace what remains of 900
Mercedes-Benz 230Gs purchased in 1981.

plan over the coming years. Source: Jane's/Gareth Jennings

The Argentine Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Argentina: FAA) is progressing some of its chief procurement and upgrade programmes, despite both the Covid-19 and economic crises slowing the acquisition efforts of the wider armed forces.

Speaking to Jane's in late April, the Chief of Staff of the FAA, Brigadier Xavier Isaac, noted the key programmes currently under way.

According to Brig Isaac, the coronavirus has actually sped up Argentina's efforts to modernise four of its Lockheed Martin C-130H Hercules airlifters, whose delivery back to the FAA was being delayed. As well, the contract between Fábrica Argentina de Aviones (FAdeA) and the FAA for the work on a fifth aircraft was signed and the aircraft is expected to be ready by early 2021.

The single civil-variant L-100-30 of the air force is already at the factory and the FAA is expected to sign the contract for its modernisation this year or in early 2021. After that, the air force will analyse the possibility of modernising the only other complete C-130H not yet upgraded.

Also in the transport aircraft area, the FAA is moving forward with the tender to buy a second-hand Boeing 737-300, -400, or -700 series aircraft, and have it delivered before the end of the year to replace the current Fokker F.28. At the same time, works are under way aimed at returning a second F.28 into service, with the goal of fielding it until about 2024.

The purchase of 10 Beechcraft TC-12B Hurons from US Navy stocks has been completed and the first aircraft are expected to arrive in Argentina before the end of the year. They will be used to train the FAA's transport pilots, instead of doing it with the Twin Otters, and to use them for liaison between the main bases.

Citation :: Argentina receives final modernised Hercules of current contract

Santiago Rivas, Buenos Aires - Jane's Defence Weekly

06 May 2020

The Argentine company Fadea delivered on 6 May the fourth modernised Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules to the I Brigada Aérea of the Argentine Air Force.

The C-130H, serial TC-66 and named 'Polo Sur', joined another C-130H and two KC-130Hs already modernised under the current contract. The aircraft have received a modernisation package provided by L3, with new avionics, a full 'glass' cockpit and other improvements, and also received a major overhaul.

A fifth example, serial TC-64, is to be modernised and delivered by 2021. The programme expects to include six aircraft and possibly a seventh.

Le deuxième des quatre patrouilleurs hauturiers argentins mis à l'eau à Concarneau

Après l'arrivée de l'A.R.A. Bouchard (ex-Adroit) en Argentine en février 2020, le deuxième OPV (87 m et 1650 tonnes) a été mis à l’eau le 1er octobre, à Concarneau.

Malgré le contexte sanitaire contraignant, cette opération intervient avec deux mois d’avance par rapport à l'échéance contractuelle.

Les deux prochains navires seront réalisés à Lanester par Kership, la filiale de Naval Group et de Piriou.

Signé le 22 juin 2018 à Buenos Aires, le contrat pour la livraison de quatre patrouilleurs océaniques multi-missions pour la Marine argentine est entré en vigueur le 13 février 2019. Ce contrat couvre la livraison de L'Adroit - un navire mis en service fin 2011 et utilisé par la Marine nationale qui a été modernisé pour devenir l'A.R.A. Bouchard - ainsi que la construction de trois nouvelles unités qui bénéficie d’un design adapté (connues sous le nom d'OPV 87). Les trois nouveaux navires sont spécialement adaptés à la navigation dans les eaux glacées de l'océan Austral, grâce à un renforcement de leur structure.

UK bars South Korea from selling FA-50 to Argentina

by Gareth Jennings

The United Kingdom has effectively barred the sale of the FA-50 Fighting Eagle to Argentina, with the South Korean manufacturer
informing the South American nation that it is unable to supply the light fighter and strike jet with its British-made parts.

The South Korean FA-50 has fallen foul of a UK arms embargo on Argentina, with its manufacturer informing the South American
nation that the aircraft’s British made parts mean it cannot be sold as requested. (KAI)

In a letter dated 28 October, a senior official at Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) told Argentina’s ambassador to the Republic of Korea that the FA-50 cannot be exported due to the UK government’s arms embargo on the country. As KAI Senior Manager and Chief, International Business Strategy Department, Martin Chun, noted in his letter to Ambassador Alfredo Carlos Bascou, the FA-50 includes six major components that are sourced from the UK.

“It is our regret to inform you that the UK export license issue is not resolved to date. Although KAI did not yet find a solution, KAI is making a reasonable endeavour to resolve this UK E/L [export licence] issue,” the letter posted online said. KAI had not responded to a request for confirmation by the time of publication, while an Argentine source familiar with the procurement told Janes he believed the letter to be genuine.

News of the apparent collapse of the FA-50 purchase came some 16 months after Janes

Citation :: Argentina tenders to acquire spare sparts to modernize TAM medium tank

Defense News May 2021 Global Security army industry

POSTED ON SUNDAY, 02 MAY 2021 16:25

According to information published by the InfoDefensa website on May 1, 2021, the Army of Argentina has launched public tenders to acquire spare parts for the modernization of the TAM medium tank.

The TAM is a medium tank developed and designed by the German company Rheinmetall Landsysteme to meet the operational requirements of the Argentine Army. The first prototype of the tank was completed in 1976 and was delivered to the Argentine Army in 1979.

According to the military balance 2020, Argentina armed forces have a total of 231 TAM medium tanks. The tank was developed by Germany and Argentina using the tracked chassis of the German-made Marder IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle).

The latest upgraded version of the TAM medium tank is fitted with a three-man turret armed with a Rheinmetall Rh-105-30 105 mm cannon. The gun can fire the M735A1 armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot, high-explosive anti-tank rounds, high-explosive squash head, and smoke ammunition. The second armament of the TAM includes one coaxial 7.62 mm FN MAG machine gun and a second FN MAG is mounted on the TAM's turret roof.

The TAM is powered by an MTU MB 833 Ka-500 6-cylinder diesel engine developing 720 hp at 2,400 rpm coupled to a Renk HSWL-204 planetary transmission with 4 speeds forward and reverse. The tank can reach a maximum road speed of 75 km/h with a maximum range of 590 km or 940 km with additional fuel drums mounted at the rear of the hull.

In March 2013, the first upgraded TAM Medium tank was delivered to Argentine Army under the name of TAM 2C. It was modernized by the Israeli Company Elbit Systems with many features including a thermal imager for the gunner and commander, a thermal sleeve for the barrel, and an auxiliary power unit to provide power to critical systems when the main engine is off and reduce fuel consumption while idling.

In 2015, the Argentine army has tested a new modernized version of its TAM medium tank which was called TAM 2IP. This upgrade was also developed in Israel by Elbit Systems. This version is fitted with an add-on armor kit, a new fire control system, and new sights. The ballistic profile of the appliqué armor was improved and includes extra protection for the turret on all sides, as well as the sides and front of the chassis.

Cette livraison s’inscrit dans le cadre du contrat signé par Naval Group avec l’Argentine en 2018 pour quatre patrouilleurs océaniques multi-missions. L’A.R.A. Bouchard (ex-L’Adroit) avait été livré en décembre 2019 avec deux mois d’avance sur le calendrier initial et l’A.R.A. Piedrabuena, premier des trois patrouilleurs de construction neuve, a été livré le 13 avril dernier.
