> making the single-seat fighter also the first supersonic aircraft manufactured in Latin America

Would the Ariane rockets also qualify as "supersonic aircraft manufactured in Latin America" in some overly pedantic way?

I mean, personally I wouldn't consider it as manufactured there (as it's only final assembly), whether French Guiana actually belongs to Latin America is also up for debate and even designating a rocket as an aircraft would be a stretch in my opinion, but I would be interested to know how it can be objectively dismissed.
