Hi.
In this alternative, for us (I´m from Argentina) is almost the same for the Air force and Naval Aviation, main aircraft force
A-4:
Fro wiki: "Argentina was the first foreign user of the Skyhawk and had nearly 130 A-4s delivered since 1965. The Argentine Air Force received 25 A-4Bs in 1966 and another 25 in 1970, all refurbished in the United States by Lockheed Service Co. prior to their delivery as A-4P, although they were still locally known as A-4B. They had three weapon pylons and served in the 5th Air Brigade (Spanish: V Brigada Aérea). In 1976, 25 A-4Cs were ordered to replace the F-86 Sabres still in service in the 4th Air Brigade (Spanish: IV Brigada Aérea). They were received as is and refurbished to flight status by Air Force technicians at Río Cuarto, Córdoba. The C model had five weapon pylons and could use AIM-9B Sidewinder air-to-air missiles"
"The Argentine Naval Aviation also bought the Skyhawk known as A-4Q in the form of 16 A-4Bs plus two for spare parts[citation needed], which unlike the Air Force's A-4Ps, were powered by 8,400 lbf (40 kN) J-65-W-20 engines and fitted to use Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. They were received in 1971 to be used mainly from the aircraft carrier ARA Veinticinco de Mayo by the 3rd Fighter/Attack Squadron (Spanish: 3ra Escuadrilla Aeronaval de Caza y Ataque)."
Mirage III
In July 1970 we sign the contract to buy 10 M-III single seat and 2 two seat. The frist plane was delivery on agost 1972. In may 1977, we sign another contract for buying 7 single seat more. The deliveries star beteween 1979 y 1980.
One thing: the frist bach came with 1 weapon pylon and 1 in the fuselage (3 total). the second batch: 2 wings pylon and 1 in fuselage (5 total).
IAI Nesher /Dagger
In the middle of 1978, the need arose to acquire aerial equipment of the Bomber Fighter type. At that time, the Humprey-Kennedy amendment prevented the acquisition of war material from the United States or Europe, for which other markets had to be chosen, including Israel.
Finally, it was agreed to purchase a total of 36 IAI Nesher fighter-bombers : 24 single-seaters and two two-seaters, which were renamed in Argentina under the name of Dagger ( dagger)
On August 28, 1979, the first batch of planes arrived in Tandil
The FAA decides to acquire an additional batch of 13 aircraft (11 single-seaters and 2 two-seaters).On September 22, 1980, the new contract was signed, and the first planes arrived in the country on May 29, 1981.
The U.S. placed an embargo of spare parts in 1977 due to the Dirty War ( is the name used by the military junta or civic-military dictatorship of Argentina for the period of state terrorism in Argentina from 1976 to 1983) backing the Humphrey-Kennedy amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1976, the Carter administration placed an embargo on the sale of arms and spare parts to Argentina and on the training of its military personnel
So the only aircraft that can change is the M-III.
As the Sea Vixen FAW.2 was retired in 1972, maybe we can changes the Mirage
So the time of the war, no Mirage III, 19 Sea Vixen FAW.2 (if we don´t lose any by accidents)
