The Argentine Air Force (Fuerza
Aérea Argentina - FAA) has evaluated the Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master advanced
jet trainer and light fighter as a potential new front-line platform.
FAA pilots flew the aircraft in Italy on 12 and 13 October, the
Italian Ministry of Defence (MoD) disclosed on 19 October. The FAA delegation
was hosted by the Italian Air Force's (Aeronautica Militare Italiana - AMI) 61°
Stormo (Wing) at Lecce.
In an article posted on its website, the Italian MoD noted that
the FAA was especially interested in testing the M-346's air-to-air and
air-to-surface capabilities. Although billed primarily as a jet trainer
platform, the M-346 does have a secondary offensive capability.
