Before ordering Gripen Brazil knew the UK would not allow export of British components to Argentina. Argentina knew the UK would not allow export of British components to Argentina. Why should Brazil cancel the Brazil contract?
I imagine KC-390 does not contain British components unless Argentina thought it would never order any for its own use.
Guys, let’s wait for the turn of power that will come with the next election.
We are witnessing the end of an era. A Dramatic end sadly. Nobody, neither in UK or in Ar will clinch-out from the present situation. Fact is ArAF ordering JF17 or canceling any fighter program will be disastrous and a very bad political move from all parties involved.
South Atlantic is far far down south when you have to move ship down there to bring supply or re-enforcement.
In addition to being a vacation destination for local and international tourists, Ushuaia is also the key access point to the Southern Ocean, including subantarctic islands such as South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and Antarctic islands such as the South Orkney Islands and the South Shetland Islands. Its commercial pier is the major port of departure in the world for tourist and scientific expeditions to the Antarctic Peninsula.[citation needed] Cruise ships visiting the Falkland Islands (referred to by Argentinians as Islas Malvinas) and Antarctica dock at the port, as well as Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, and Celebrity Cruises, which transit between Valpara�so, Chile, to Buenos Aires and beyond. Antarpply Expeditions, Global Maritime, Hurtigruten, Lindblad Expeditions, Orient Lines, Quark Expeditions, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, and other passenger and freight lines provide regularly scheduled services between Ushuaia and local seaports and settlements.
The only other local Dock facilities are in Chile (Punta Arenas) and although more modern and robust, in my souvenir, are somewhat landlocked (the main used road goes through Argentina)
