The Argentine Air Force will soon receive five refurbished Dassault-Breguet Super Etendard (SEM) aircraft from France. The modernized aircraft were purchased in 2018 from retired surplus stocks of the French Navy for a total contract cost of approximately €13 million. The Super Etendard series was decommissioned from active French Naval service in 2016 and replaced with the Dassault Rafale Marine.
