Zona Militar – Throughout 2025, news regarding the Argentine Navy’s Super Étendard fighters has been scarce, with no mention of them by naval authorities or in the Management Reports submitted by the Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers to the National Congress. This situation appears to foreshadow a decision that has been in the works within the Navy’s leadership, concerning the Super Étendard Modernisé aircraft acquired in 2019 which, to date, despite various efforts and testing, have not even completed a single test flight. According to sources consulted by Zona Militar, the decision would involve the decommissioning of these aircraft, a move that has been shared in camaraderie meetings attended by high-ranking Navy officials to provide an overview of the force’s present and future.
