James R. Petersen, the former U.S. ambassador to South Korea, claimed in January 2009 that the U.S. still intends to provide South Korea with F-16s, but will only provide technical support. The F-16s were originally to replace the aging F-5Ks, but the agreement was modified after the country indicated it would prefer to modernize its fleet. The U.S. plan was to allocate $282 million for the first batch of 44 F-16As in 2016, with a total of $1.6 billion planned for the new program. Although the ROKAF is expecting 14 new F-16s, it plans to phase out the remaining 27 F-5s and F-5Ks by 2016. The new jets would receive the Block 56, the latest variant of the F-16. South Korean analysts are worried that if North Korea advances its missile technology, U.S. measures to restrict the ROK's access to F-35s will be interpreted by Pyongyang as a threat to its own development of such weapons. North Korea has been calling for the U.S. to halt the sale of F-16s to the ROK pending negotiations on the weapons ban treaty. On November 23, 2010, a U.S. State Department official said that the U.S. will not provide any support to South Korea's planned acquisition of F-35Bs, and that the deal should be cancelled until the North Korea nuclear issue is settled because the F-35 is too expensive to operate in the region, and Pyongyang has the technology required to overcome U.S. defenses.[116] On May 26, 2011, a North Korean spokesman said that "North Korea would regard the joint F-35 development and procurement deal between the U.S. and South Korea as a challenge to its future ballistic rocket launch," and that it "will always make all-out efforts to bolster its nuclear force, and the U.S. and its followers should ponder over grave consequences that they will have to face when they awaken from the nightmare if they persist in their hostile policy towards the DPRK."[117] d2c66b5586
