Apparently the deal for acquiring 12 FC-1 Xiaolong jet fighters from China was well advanced, be it nor for the eject seats
Another hurdle has cropped up for the Argentine Air Force attempt to begin recovering its once might, which succumbed during the Falkland Islands conflict and with obsolescence. In effect, a long list of countries have been most willing to sell supersonic fighter jets to Argentina, but mainly costs and the British arms embargo have conspired.
According to
Hispaviacion, a Spanish air defense site, in 2019 Argentina had started negotiations with the Korea Aerospace Industries, KAI, for the acquisition of a dozen FA 50s, the combat version of the training T 50, and well catalogued internationally. However in November 2020, KAI sent a letter in which it said the sale of FA 50s was not possible since some of the components of the aircraft were of British origin.

A delegation from China is in Argentina to pitch JF-17 Thunder jets for its air force. The delegation, as per reports, is keen to sell 12 JF-17 fighters in the coming days, against the Russian offering of MiG-35s.
The Argentine Air Force has been looking for a new supersonic fighter jet following the retirement of its Dassault Mirage III fleet in 2015, after which it is left with only A-4 light attack aircraft.
For this, Buenos Aires had reached out to South Korea for its F/A-50 lightweight fighter jets in 2019 and was close to finalizing the contract, but was then refused due to the UK blocking it on the grounds of an arms embargo, as the aircraft features various British components, including Martin-Baker ejection seats.
The JF-17 fighter has been combat tested and is produced in partnership with Pakistan, which is its largest operator There is speculation that CATIC intends to close an agreement for the supply of 12 fighters according to the Zona Militar website.
A top-ranking delegation from China s National Aero-Technology import-export corporation, CATIC, is currently in Argentina to discuss defense cooperation and with the proposal to offer the Argentine Air Force supersonic capable aircraft, according to InfoDefensa.ar, an Argentine site which specializes in defense industry issues.
Following the retirement of its latest Dassault Mirage III in 2015, the Argentine Air Force is out of supersonic fighter jets in its fleet and has been using subsonic A-4 attack aircraft while negotiating the purchase of an intercept aircraft.
