Within the Operational Readiness program of the Air Force, the project sets a goal for 2027 of incorporating six F-16 aircraft, in addition to 30 exercises and 98,300 hours of operation.
The Budget also includes multi-year allocations related to the F-16 Program to restore military ramp service in fifteen brigades, bases, and detachments, and to recover the maintenance capacity of runways and helipads of the Palomar Logistics Area Construction Group.
For 2027, the message from Milei's Government proposes “to consolidate a horizon of predictability that allows not only the acquisition of new assets but also the proper maintenance and modernization of already incorporated defense systems.”
In parallel, the Defense function would be allocated $3.778.590,5 million, a nominal increase of 24.4% compared to 2026. With a projected inflation of 18%, the real increase would be approximately 5.4%.
The continuation of the authorizations for the submarines and frigates will now depend on the parliamentary treatment of the project and the subsequent effective acquisition of financing by the Executive Branch.
