The attack aircraft bought by Argentina from France cannot be lifted: reason reported
France delivered five Dassault-Breguet Super Etendard carrier-based attack aircraft to Argentina. Unfortunately, you cannot lift them into the air at the moment. The reasons are told in the Argentinean media.,

In the seats of pilots in aircraft, Purchased for the Argentine Navy, there are not enough squibs to eject. The Argentines cannot get them directly from the manufacturer., since these items are produced in the UK, Buenos Aires is with, to put it mildly, in a difficult relationship after the Falkland War in the 80s of the last century (Malvinas) island.

Super Etendard Ultrasonic Deck Aircraft Attacks were developed in 1974 year, after which French aircraft manufacturers released 85 such machines. In France, these aircraft are withdrawn from service.

Argentina recently decided to acquire five attack aircraft, paid for them 15 millions of dollars. These planes were planned to equip the 2nd fighter-strike squadron of naval aviation. Because of the problem with the configuration, the Argentines will not refuse to deliver the combat vehicles, because they have proven themselves well in the Falkland War, causing significant damage to the navy.

Buenos Aires is going to solve the problem of missing parts for ejection seats independently, purchasing them through a foreign intermediary company. Therefore, the commissioning of "new" aircraft will take at least two years.
