WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- The Argentine Defense Ministry has suspended an agreement with Israel to purchase 14 IAI Kfir C.10 multirole fighters.
The contract for the fighters was valued at between $220 million and $360 million. While the technical agreements have been worked out between the two countries' defense officials, Argentine Defense Minister Agustín Rossi made a last-minute decision to suspend the deal until the next government assumes power, according to IHS Janes.
