This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
of the United States by helping to
improve the security of a major nonNATO ally. This potential sale will
provide additional opportunities for
bilateral engagements and further
strengthen the bilateral relationship
between the United States and
Argentina.
The Argentine military has embarked
on an ambitious path toward
modernizing its military materiel. The
proposed sale will revitalize Argentina’s
capability to train its pilots and fulfill
border control missions, especially
along its porous northern border. The
Argentine Air Force (AAF) will use the
enhanced capability to redevelop a
professional pilot corps and as a
deterrent to illicit activity. The AAF is
very experienced working with the Pratt
& Whitney PT6 family of engines which
they currently have on their T–34, King
Air, and Cessna Caravan aircraft. Given
the logistical commonalities with the
aircraft already in its fleet, the AAF will
be able to support and field the new T–
6C+s.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The prime contractor will be
Beechcraft Defense Company, LLC, of
Wichita, Kansas. The purchaser
requested offsets. At this time,
agreements are undetermined and will
be defined in negotiations between the
purchaser and contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will not require the assignment of any
additional U.S. Government or
contractor representatives to Argentina.
The AAF plan is to initially train a
cadre of mechanics in in the United
States, then a larger group in country via
military training teams.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
