One of the most brilliant minds on the internet related to Defense...
Thanks to brain surgeons like that, PAF is averaging losing an F-16 each month. At that calculations, by 2025, PAF won't have an Vipers remaining.
Sadly for this jerkoff - the number will remain in the 70's.

There are 4 of those. But yes, good question.
Why is there a flange?
What are those crumpled panels with holes?
What are these? They look awfully familiar but I cannot put my finger on where I've seen them.

Rocket pods are also carried by army aviation MI-35 Hinds.
What are those crumpled panels with holes?
The encircled right side seems to be some electronic module covered with a body with holes for cooling. Something resembling this:

4th picture shows blades of high/low pressure compressor I think.
e.g.
As for the perforations, the crumpled panels with holes,
Similar sieve can be seen inside this Mig-21 engine:
May be some sort of heat dissipating thing?
.
.
.
Also perforations inside end of Tomahawk's motor:
A part from this crash has similar perforations & possibly funneling/narrowing like rear end of Babur/Raad (click to enlarge):

.
.
.
While in pic#1 & #2 in the quoted post, the four of the sockets & flange could have something to do with the mechanism of directing the thrust (thrust vectoring?):
Also probably the long tiles seen on the inside too are needed when you need movement at the exhaust to direct the thrust.
e.g.
.
.
.
.
.
.
from the size of this debris, it's comparable to cruise missile's motor.
e.g. this is a Tomahawk's engine:
Not the booster, probably the engine!
That could be the reason people in surrounding thought it was an aircraft that crashed.
They may have seen the wings or heard the sound like aircraft?
Another part:
Probably Helium containers to deploy wings, air inlet, etc. Located right next to the turbofan in Aft-Body-Section.
Because wings/inlet are deployed only once, so just need one time burst of air.
May be these failed to deploy the wings/air inlet and hence this thing just fell out of sky?

According to this fellow, Sound of aircraft flying over was heard prior to the crash
