Argentina stopped having a Junta in 1983...

One percent of this (a very small budget for arms procurement in my opinion) is 6 billion USD, thus they should be more than capable of supporting a 5 year long 20 billion program. Even Chilie spends more on defense than that.
Are those 6 billion just for procurement or the overall military budget with which they have to support the already existing army as well? That would greatly reduce the funds for new weapons.

Simply not paying their debts back as Kirchner intends not to do, would open new financial possibilities. Or expropriating some foreign enterprise again and nationalize it.

Nothing typifies the decline in the Argentine militey to me than this sad situation...

The Holy Trinity, a warship used to land the first Argentine forces in the Falklands War with Britain in 1982, has sunk, the navy said.

And lets not forget the Pope.
If Holy Frank says no to war, half the soldiers are going to call it quits before they even embark the transports.
