And now Super Etendards, of all combat aircraft, from Argentina, of all countries? I don't think anyone saw that one coming. Would you classify the Super Etendard as a fighter?

Applause for Argentina.

"Single seat strike fighter" according to the prolific Ray Bonds The Illustrated Directory of Modern Weapons.



250 and 400 kg free fall bomb loads and capable to carrying the Exocet anti-ship missile.

At the risk of wishing ill on others (particularly the poor conscripts) I can't think of another fleet (Russia's Black Sea Fleet) more deserving of a visit from an Exocet. Particularly after all of the misery they have inflicted on Ukraine.
