Buddy PAF Pilots have limited experience on Block 52 hence they sent block 15B so our pilot show good skills.All these F16's were recieved after 2001 attacks and have been given little bit upgrades by US.They can fire AMRAAM etc.

I'll quote Pshamim to make things easy

Looks like none of the Falcons going to Nellis are from the original batch of F-16 Pakistan had.Going are the F-16AR Block-15(OCU) received recently from USAF. Their Sub-Block designation AR means that they are already upgraded to Block-40 version.

These aircraft are designated as F-16AR Block15 OCU in F-16s database. AR designation was given not only to F-16s but also to F-15s which were optimized for night operations against ground targets. Changes made included the Big Mouth, Lantrin suite which included two pods. The one on the left of the intake was used for the radar and FLIR on the right hand side. Also upgraded was a heavier undercarriage for increased payload.Ability to fire AMRAAM.
Since these aircraft appear as AR, hence the above changes related to the variant.
