This variant's main differences are the addition of support for conformal fuel tanks (CFTs), a dorsal spine compartment, the APG-68(V9) radar, an On-Board Oxygen Generation System (OBOGS),and a JHMCS helmet.

The CFTs are mounted above the wing, on both sides of the fuselage and are easily removable.

They provide an additional 440 US gallons or approximately 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg) of additional fuel, allowing increased range or time on station and frees up hardpoin nts for weapons instead of underwing fuel tanks.

All two-seat "Plus" aircraft have the enlarged avionics dorsal spine compartment which is located behind the cockpit and extends to the tail. It adds 30 cu ft (850 L) to the airframe for more avionics with only small increases in weight and drag.

---My Information---
This is a new variant of my F-16s this is the Block 52+ its got a cool desert camouflage with extra weapons and can carry more fuel it has more weapons and all of them can be used by using Group 1 to 6, left to right.

The ECM pods at the bottom has a camera attached to use it along with the imaginative targeting system. Information sourced from
