Argentina is going to send a commission to India, possibly in mid-January 2023, to evaluate the offer for Tejas Mk1A fighters.

The commission will most likely include pilots and technicians from the FAA, as well as technocrats and officials from the Argentine MoD. They will go over the Tejas facilities, including the simulators, the assembly lines, etc. and conduct a deep dive into the capabilities that the Tejas Mk1 and Mk1A prototypes have to offer. HAL has promised to replace all British components including the quartz radome, fuel probe and ejection seat.

Wont matter - their new PM is killing all contracts. Best option is to finance it all the way for them.

Argentina is a basket case of mismanagement of economy. Maybe some alternate method of payment can be reached.

It does matter because the Argentines have so far not yet done a deep dive into the technical capabilities of the Tejas Mk1A on offer. There have been visits, but this will be more important in terms of the data that will be gathered.

Whether or not a deal materializes is a different matter that India doesn't have a say in, thanks to Argentina's finances. But it does make sense to provide all the technical data and allow the Argentines to have the best and most accurate data available to make their own choice, if and when such a time comes.
 
As I mentioned in my previous post, the Argentine Air Force intends to go ahead and do all the ground work for the selection of the future fighter, including the financing aspects. That will then be put forth to the government for them to then make a decision whenever they see fit.

They had ample opportunities to procure additional aircraft but it seems they are focused on settling their economy first. Their A-4ARs will have to soldier on more.
 
Forget all fighter contracts ............ China is going to make a naval base in Argentina in near future.
