Brother, the purpose of EOTS is targeting like FLIR/IRST where as for DAS is to provide 360 degrees situational awareness.

And bro does J-20's ETOS doesn't have to provide 360 degree situation awareness

If major changes are internal then this welcome photo would do little to reveal those. Cant even tell if there's an HMD or not.

Ooooh DUDE...your right, looks the wings of the Blk3 have been pushed a bit back, earlier blocks, the wing root began where the intake top edge ended while in the Blk3 there are some inches between the intake top edge and the the beginning of the wing root (notice red boxes to highlight the difference)...View attachment 596208 View attachment 596210

Please do not overrate any minor detail or difference esp. if the images are not exactly from the same position, which in this case they are.

imaging infrared maws? Interesting. Can it do tracks of fighter jets too, like DAS? Forming a complete spherical situational awareness picture.

Yes it can. Incremental upgrade from SE-2

So JF-17 Block-III is a derivative of Block-II instead of B. Makes sense as B is twin-seat.

Really happy to see this new pearl - although we had expectations that it will be further evaluation of JF-17B instead of JF-17A. Alhamdolillah. May our new war-horse save this homeland and destroy the ones who intend to harm it.

It would if it has distributed camera system like DAS. The undernose EO sensor is not part of that system, DAS is many small cameras distributed all over the airframe.

How can you guess the engine from this pic?
