No, Just the lead in F-16 was a Block-52 with CFTs, the demo aircraft was a MLU toy.

Salaam
Sir were you in the jeep standing with Army & Air force officer , I think the commentator said Rashid Mehmood from naval aviation who served in PNS babur

No Bro. I'm retired.
I was part of the Parade in 2002.

@Windjammer Why it looked that in demo of JF-17 pilot was holding back the plane and not taking it to full potential or its engine is underpowered?? whereas in demo of F-16 it looked like a F-1 car is unleashed to show its potential.

Forward fixed fins on missiles. What could these be there for? Plus doesn't seem to have electro optical unit in nose as well (which some sources originally claimed)

these are not fixed fins.

Albeit i haven't seen the demo by both aircrafts yet (Had to leave early for work) They are both breed apart, remember the F-16 has been around for over 40 years and it's a well tried and tested machine , despite the commentator claiming, unlike the F-16, the JF-17 is not a Mach-2 aircraft, so you will notice difference in brute power between them. ONOH, For it's mission requirements, JF-17 is proving to be a potent platform.
