BAE Systems’ contract to upgrade F-16s for South Korea is in trouble as Seoul is unhappy over demands for more money to fund the program.

“The US government asks for about $470 million, and BAE Systems wants about $280 million,” Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) spokesman Baek Yoon-hyung said.
