		</div><p>Argentina’s defence minister signed a deal on Tuesday worth about 2.1 billion kroner (£241 million) to buy 24 of Denmark’s ageing F-16 fighter jets.</p>
<p>Denmark is getting new F-35 aircraft, and the sale of the nearly 40-year-old F-16s that “have been thoroughly maintained and technologically updated” means that Argentina will “become part of the global F-16 family”, said the Danish defence minister, Troels Lund Poulsen.</p>
<p>Denmark has 30 operative F-16s. An unspecified number of the remaining jets have been promised to Ukraine as part of a donation.</p>
<p>No date for the F-16s to be handed over to Argentina was announced. They are expected to be transferred in the coming years.</p>
<p>Denmark has ordered 27 F-35A fighter jets, and the switch to them is taking place at the end of 2025.</p>
<p>In March, Mr Poulsen visited Argentina and signed a letter of intent to sell some of Denmark’s F-16 jets. Tuesday’s deal was signed at a Danish air force base.</p>
