It was right R73 of mig21 bison that hit F16.I am sorry to say, you just reinforced our claim of Mig-21 Bison shooting down your F-16.

So, what we see in this image?
1. Damaged missile seeker of R - 73.
2. Mangled & damaged exhaust part of R - 73.
3. Seemingly intact part of R - 73.
What actually happened?
Missile seeker from the leftmost missile is swapped with missile seeker of the rightmost missile.
The leftmost missile is actually fully intact since the aircraft crashed with it, and it has not been fired.
Rightmost R-73, however, has been fired. Everyone will ask, oh ! Then why are missile parts still intact? I say, look at this image -

This is the seeker head of Aim-9L AAM used to down Indian Searcher drone on June 7, 2002. Yes, the seeker's head is intact. An air-to-air missile warhead is not exactly that powerful to rip-off and shred every part of the missile. A2A missiles have an annular/fragmentation warhead, which focuses on shredding apart soft aluminum bodies of planes over a large blast radius, rather than decimating.
Now, compare this to my image. View attachment 33360
1. Damaged (remember, replaced with the rightmost missile) seeker, signs of warhead explosion.
2. Mangled and burn damage on missile exhaust, clear signs of an explosion.
And, where is the mid section of the missile ? Oh, yes, its not present because it ripped apart your dear F-16
