The damage caused by the coronavirus in the defence industry is beginning to be revealed day by day. FA-50 Fighting Eagle light attack aircraft, which Argentina plans to buy from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), has been suspended for viruses.
A KAI official was quoted by local media news agencies as saying that the coronavirus pandemic has had an adverse effect on Argentina's economy and that its bid to sell FA-50s to the country had been delayed indefinitely.
“It will be difficult for Argentina to spend its defence budget on fighter jets when it is experiencing difficulties due to the virus spread,” a KAI official said.
