Argentina buys 16 Mirage F 1 from Spain; half have air-refuelling capacity

“The Argentine Air Force anticipates the incorporation of the Mirage F-1, which will replace the Mirage III in process of decommissioning” reads page 115 of the budget bill.

After 22 years in service, the Mirages were decommissioned by the Spanish Air Force at the airbase of Los Llanos in Albacete during a ceremony last June. They had been refurbished in the nineties with improved avionics and firing capacity.

How are Argentina going to pay for these second hand jets? Corned Beef, anyhow it will be even easier for our RAF and ground air defences to shoot them down, if they can afford to fill them up with fuel?
