Argentina has procured four ex-US Lockheed P-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft the country's defence minister, Oscar Aguad, announced on 27 September. The intention is to replace the six P-3B Orions Argentina received between 1997 and 1999, of which none are operational. As the P-3Bs required major structural refurbishment, it was decided that the best course of action was to replace them with newer aircraft recently retired by the US Navy(USN).
