Historically, Argentina's military industry was weak, with its existence being used solely for the state's internal procurement of weapons it could otherwise not get on the market or critical armaments necessary for internal security. During the Cold War, Argentine military industry possessed a myriad of factories, workshops, ammunition plants, and shipyards with the intention to supply the Argentine state with artillery, guns, ships, planes, and anything it might need, which was encouraged by Argentina's goal to substitute arms imports for their own domestic variants. This was evidenced by the Argentine FAL, 155mm CITER gun, Tanque Argentino Mediano, the Espora class corvettes, and other equipment from the Cold War era that continues in use. Shortly after the economic crises of the 90s and the neutering of the military by the Kirchner government, the Argentine army remained significantly neglected and outdated, up until the election of Jose Centurion who ran on a campaign to restore the military's respect and dignity in the country.

Thus, a massive extension of government subsidies and investments utilized redirected funds from other sectors resulted. The construction of such industrial zones was further subsidized and assisted by the Russian Federation and China who placed a bid on further investment in exchange for soft alignment with Russia and China. Another power that significantly benefitted from the subsidies was Brazillian aerospace and military industries such as Embraer, IMBEL, and Astillero do Rio de Janeiro which invested in the blossoming market in Argentina for military production as well as favorable government contracts to embed themselves into burgeoning Argentinian firms to further expand their industrial portfolio. The city of Mendoza and Puerto Madryn thus became the sites for new industrial zones focused on the mass production of domestic and licensed military equipment for use of the state, in a bid to return to its roots as the most powerful military in Hispanic America.

Companies such as Fabricaciones Militares, the state-owned enterprise tasked with supplying the army with rifles, artillery, and other infantry equipment received additional funds to open up a plant "Arsenal del Veinticinco de Mayo" in Greater Buenos Aires, producing double the ammunition for artillery and rifles as well as producing new artillery pieces. Upgrades to the Domingo Matheu factory were approved to produce the licensed Beretta AMX-200 standard-issue rifle for the Army and its munitions. CITEFA, the R&D and procurement division of Fabricaciones Militares also received significant investments, opening up two new factories in Mendoza and Puerto Madryn to help produce electronics, missiles, new MLRS systems, SAMs and ATGMs as well as the necessary R&D funds to upgrade our existing arsenal of said weapons.

The Fabrica Militar de Aviones also received investments to extend its maintenance abilities with the procurement of a fleet of Chinese J-10 aircraft to expand its airforce capabilities. It was also announced in 2031 that FMA will closely work with Embraer in its procurement and maintenance of Embraer-built transport aircraft and gunships. The government has also expressed significant interest in FMA's research and development of UAVs with the prototype of a general-purpose combat drone: The Condor A-5, adopting the lessons from developing the Lipan UAV.

The myriad of Argentine shipyards such as Puerto Belgrano, Puerto Madryn, Rio Santiago, and Tandanor have been given contracts by the Argentine state to help in the construction of new frigates under license from the Chinese. Besides the new destroyers being built on Chinese soil, the new ships brought new life to these sleepy drydocks, providing new sources of employment for the locals. Thousands of new workers were hired in the drydocks to help in the production of these ships. With all these investments both domestic and foreign. Argentina is on track towards regaining it's pride once again.
