Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has said its plans to re-engage with Argentina over the potential export of FA-50 Fighting Eagle light attack aircraft have been delayed as a result of of Covid-19.
A KAI official was quoted by local media news agencies as saying that the coronavirus pandemic has had an adverse effect on Argentina's economy and that its bid to sell FA-50s to the country had been delayed indefinitely.
"It [will be] difficult for Argentina to spend its defence budget [on] fighter jets when it is experiencing difficulties due to the virus spread," a KAI official was quoted as saying.
