The wing looks like the "cranked arrow" version of the F-16 called the F-16XL that had two prototypes built back in the late 70's.

Interestingly, the XL was used in the SCAMP project which was a research project to find ways of making transport aircraft supersonic. According to Wikipedia the design achieved supercruise during testing. M 1.2 at full dry thrust.
