In the early 2000s some of them were upgraded by Israel with targeting pods to allow for ground attack but the US blocked any more upgrades in 2005 after Chavez took over.That was my thought My understanding is they have not upgraded any of them since the original sale.
All the videos I've seen of the remaining F-16s show none of them with the targeting pods meaning so yeah they're just flying them out of pride, and remember when they did the flyovers of the US Navy at the start of the build up last year to test if they actually had authorization to use force they sent out the F-16s completely unarmed rather than the new Sukhois they have.
Venezuela is now a U.S. protectorate, it will never be allowed to possess any more modern combat aircraft again.They were going through different allies getting communist bloc aircraft for Ukraine I wouldn't be surprised if there was a swap for those SU-30s for some new f16s. For some reason the ukrainians did not do so well with them.
