No money available whatsoever. They need something dirt cheap that can fly next 10 years. France can provide spares and logistic even longer as long as Argentinians can pay for it.
And there is nothing cheaper on the market atm, unless you go for something like J-7 instead

When you know there are typhoons, su-30MKV, Gripen Ng arround them, it's stupid to buy it, mirages or J-7. Better go for Pantsir and few trainer aircraft that can be armed.

Take a squadron of MiG-23MLD from RuAF reserve stocks and pay for their upgrade with Zhuk radar and equip them with Kh-31A anti-ship missiles and R-77 and R-73 air to air missiles. Comparing to old French Super Etendards, MiG-23MLDs have small number of flying hours, they still have big stock of spare parts and engine could be replaced by Al-31F engine from Su-27, which is still in production. Like in Libya, they could equip MiG-23 jets with IFR probes from Mirages. Good choice for Argentina, MiG-23 is fast and well agile with +8,5 g and with good range ( better than MiG-29).
