According to Alan Warnes after speaking with the Air Chief, the 3000 number on Block-3 represents a large number of sales to other nations.
Doubt
Interesting...

Compare the fuel tank clearance relative from the ground.

Blk 2 is yet to touch down. Notice fuel tank clearance, height of landing gear struts.

Blk 3 has just touched down, yet the landing gear shows higher ground clearance. Landing gear struts look longer.

You realise the gear will compress as more weight is put on it right? The plane has barely touched down, thus the gear is at its maximum extension, as the plane puts more weight on the gear, it’ll compress and go back to normal height…

What do y'all think this could be? A sensor embedded in the horizontal stabilizer? Also note the grey area that extends from there towards the body. Could it be an emitter of some sort?

Doubt it, it’s been present since block 2’s, nothing was changed wrt sensors aside from the radar afaik. Might just be something to do with the extra composite content present in the aircraft, especially on the stabs

To me it seems nose cone diameter is comparatively bigger.
Angles.

people need to stop making something out of nothing. First we have a bigger inlet, then we have a longer landing gear, then a canted radar and now a bigger nose.

it’s literally just the angle or in the case of the gear, a lack of load on it.

Could you please find me this feature in Block-2? I do not recall having seen it anywhere before.
Static discharge tube.
I've never noticed it before. I am getting old, but still...
