한국정부가 벌금 43백만불을 요구하자, 이를 막기위해 누가 잘못한것인지 따져보자는 것 입니다.

선수를 친것 입니다. 그런데 내용상 아래 나오지만, 미정부의 추가 test과정 요구로 발생한 것을 왜

우리에게 blame 하냐는 BAE 입장과 한국정부는 그럼 니가 알아서 미국정부를 설득해야되는데, 못했으니

계약대로 벌금내라는... BAE는 FMS 사업 특성상 그건 불가능한 이야기라고...

 

아무튼 묘하게 돌아가네요, 록히드가 마냥 좋아만 할 일은 아닙니다. 서로 폭로전으로 가면, 모르는 추한 상황들이

들어날수도 있으니, 적당히 중재하려는 세력이 나오겠죠... 

 

 

BAE Sues South Korea Over F-16 Upgrade Cancellation Fees
Nov. 13, 2014 - 05:56PM   |   By AARON MEHTA   |   Comments

WASHINGTON — South Korea is claiming BAE owes it $43 million in punitive costs over a recently canceled F-16 upgrade program — and BAE is taking the Asian country’s military acquisition arm to court in order to block those charges.

At the core of the lawsuit is a disagreement about who is to blame for unexpected jumps in cost for the F-16 upgrade program.

 

Military officials in Korea have claimed the US government added about US $470 million and BAE Systems about $280 million in costs that were not part of the original agreement. South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) is holding BAE responsible for those costs; BAE, in turn, argues that it had no say in those cost increases, instead putting the blame at the feet of the US government.

“DAPA is now impermissibly seeking to require [BAE] to pay $43,250,000 under the April 2014 Letter of Guarantee,” the lawsuit, filed Thursday by BAE’s US arm in Maryland District Court, reads.

That $43 million is a fee that was built into the F-16 contract in case BAE broke its agreement. But BAE is arguing DAPA is punishing the company for not being able to convince the US government that the extra costs created by government requirements for more testing were unnecessary. In BAE’s eyes, that simply isn’t fair.
