Recently, the **Argentine Navy** (Armada Argentina) announced that it will permanently **retire its Dassault Super Étendard attack aircraft by 2026, after 40 years of service.** Despite attempts by the Navy to revive the 2nd Fighter-Attack Squadron, including the purchase of several modernized versions from France, the situation with the ejection seats ultimately ended these efforts. The Argentina navy was the last operator of these aircraft in the world. With the final retirement of these attack aircraft, **it is now entering history.** 

The **Dassault Super-Étendard** is a French supersonic carrier-based attack aircraft. It was developed based on the Étendard IVM aircraft. **It caused a sensation during the Falklands War,** during which Argentine "Super Étendards," using Exocet anti-ship missiles (ASMs), sank two British ships: the destroyer HMS Sheffield and the container ship Atlantic Conveyor.
