The five modernized Super Etendard (SEM) aircraft purchased by France from the national government for the navy are already on the ground and are preparing for the repair phase.
The equipment had to be unloaded on Thursday, but the tasks were delayed by a strike and had to be postponed to today, while the tasks were developed in the multipurpose wharf of the Patagonia Norte company, to Ingeniero White.
The one responsible for bringing them into the country, with different war equipment, was the ship with the flag of Liberia Lily Auerbach.
On Monday, we expect an official ceremony attended by Mayor Héctor Gay, the Minister of National Defense, Oscar Aguad, and senior officials of the Argentine Navy.

To this must be added 5 million additional US currency for commissioning as it is aircraft of opportunity, although updated in order to extend their operational life , and modernized in their navigation and configuration systems to expand their range of missions.
