All these Block-15s are EDA. After signing peace treaty with Israel, Jordan got these ex-USAF EDA's in 1997/98 and a second batch of ex-Belgian F-16AM/BMs in 2008 and 2011 (again those were also MLU). The one's we got are Block-15 EDAs and all of them were MLU'ed by TAI in 2005, bringing them on par with Block-52s, the only exception being CFTs and less powerful engine. In fact TAI did MLU on 17 aircraft. The A/B models which have those IFF/Bird cutters infront of canopy are all MLU'ed...that's the sign of A/B aircraft going through MLU.
Those birds cutter "BIRD SLICERS" antennas on A/B are because of ADF version otherwise Block-15 A/B models does not support IFF antennas unless they are MLUed.
The MLU F-16 you are talking about are still with Jordan and we are getting the old ones ADF Falcons, that haven't gone through Block-50 equivalent MLU. They might have provision to use Aim-120 but they have no A2G capabilities as compared to our Falcons.
Kindly Go through F-16.net Jordan AF records.
