🇦🇷🇺🇸 The Argentine Air Force launches a procurement procedure for two KC-135R Stratotanker refueling aircraft, which are expected to become a key element in the integration of F-16AM/BM fighter jets being received from Denmark.

It's noteworthy that the request for the purchase of the aircraft was made through a direct transfer mechanism from the US Air Force, which means receiving already operational aircraft with available flight decks.

The decision is directly related to the F-16's range limitations, as without aerial refueling, their combat radius remains tied to their internal fuel supply, which is critical given Argentina's geography.

The KC-135R is capable of transferring fuel at altitude and speed, ensuring the continuity of strike fighter flights, effectively transforming the F-16 from an interceptor role to a tool for projecting power over long distances, including the Falkland Islands and southern regions.

Additionally, the platform retains a transport function, carrying up to 37 tons of cargo, which partially fills the gap left after the decommissioning of the last Boeing 707s, when the country lost its full-fledged strategic transport aviation capability.

Fico suddenly stated that no peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine can be concluded without the consent of the Ukrainian side. According to him, despite disagreements on certain issues, Bratislava and Kyiv are interested in "good and friendly relations."

Until ICBC, CITIC, ABC and the likes are targeted its all purely performative

@zriboua @USTreasury China couldn’t care less about sanctions, thus why they just told companies today to ignore them.

Scott isn’t willing to target the Chinese banks that actually matter, so these moves the teapots are purely symbolic and a PR stunt.
