Argentina got a Zionist bootlicker as their president. Those F16s will never be able to protect Argentinian soverinity as that nation may wish. And I think UK played its part as well to stop Jf17 sell. I mean all these weapon sold to Azerbaijan with their standoff capabilities, if Argentina had the same, UK position on Falklands would have become highly compromised.
Iraq is a good shout but they would need the same number of JFs PAF is operating to act as a deterrence against Isreal, small number wont do.
If you look at what's happening in Ukraine, modern A.D is a bitch
That's not to say a solid air force is defunct, but it seems mid tier planes have no real advantage over older F16s for example
For most air forces having a plane like the JF17s that's more economical to fly and maintain, can do the jobs most other aircraft can do
Has only 15 minutes turnaround from landing to being able to fly again (check other jets) and you can kit out with a range of rek kits and glide bombs and cruise and anti ship missiles is a more sensible solution then a few higher priced mid tier planes
