I remember KF-16 is still using AIM-120B in 2020 as shown below. Maybe limited (upgraded) KF-16 can use it?

Usually, when new missiles are inposed, they are used as stockpiles, and during peacetime operations, they are used as existing missiles. The F-15K may also use the AIM-120B to stockpile new missile inventories. Additionally, if the AIM-120B is available, there is no need for a separate integration to use AIm-120C-7.
