Argentina Fighter Jet Procurement

The fighters are also a necessity - what are the options that are still being considered to be the next 4th Generation fighter?

The steadiest options are undoubtedly the JF-17 , the F-16 , and the Tejas, which also competes. The JF-17 , because we have already done a complete study; and the Tejas , which although it has British components, India stated that it was going to solve this. This is why they asked us for a second stage of analysis, a deeper one. We did a good analysis, but not as deep as the JF-17 . So they asked us for a window, which I don't think goes beyond October, to do a second analysis, so we can't rule it out.
