The current state of the Argentine armed forces is pretty well covered down in this part of the world, with information from multiple sources including the military themselves, and often from sources very friendly to Argentina.
Nobody is feeding anyone a line, their military really is in a bad state. There has been no significant investment since the 1980s and nothing is going to change in three years, let alone three months. They have a very long term cash flow problem, and the fact that Argentina is totally skint means that's not about to change an time soon.
What you also need to remember is that defeat in the Falklands brought about the end of the military junta and a return to something resembling democracy. Nobody wanted another military coup, so there was no investment in the forces for years. You can't recover that kind of neglect overnight.
