The F-16 family spans many production blocks and national upgrades. This collection focuses on Block 70, avoiding specifications borrowed from older aircraft without checking their applicability.

The system in detail
Lockheed Martin identifies the APG-83 electronically scanned radar as a feature of Block 70/72. Its description concerns the modern production offering, not every aircraft carrying the F-16 name.
An upgrade announcement, a signed order and an aircraft in operational service are different records. Operator inventory claims need delivery dates and a precise block designation.
F-16 Fighting Falcon equipment records. Variants, orders and quantities are shown as reported in each inventory source; coverage is incomplete.
