Is that block 52 ?

No, I don't think, it may be MLUed but it is not block-52. Since F-16 block-52 (pic below) has these extra large fuel tanks, i.e. the line along the strakes (fuselage)

How can you say that? There is any specific identification? If any Kindly let me know.
First thing to notice is the cannon vents,A/B models had 4 vents,the newer C/D have- 2 vents.

these are CFT conformal fuel tanks they can be removed they are not permanent without these every f-16 to the untrained eye will look similar.

@Windjammer as far as I know, newer version of Maverick was bought by PAF when it bought new F-16s in 2006. Also, why dont they show JDAMs they bought as well? The bomb seen in front of F-16 with a weathercock in front is a GBU kit on a dumb bomb, that makes it a smart bomb.

In the past have seen Block-52s armed with JDAMS.
