[Ultima Thule]

No buddy. Inatake seems same to me.

No, you're wrong, its is definitely bigger than block-2/1 and slightly different from block-1/2

 

[Robie]

None of you notice the intakes. Clearly bigger in blk 3

we even coming out of landing gear dispute then we look into intakes

can't tell the difference because angle is different

after so much effort i put, got this, just kidding, anyhow to me it seems same to me.

That’s DAS, EOTS is different. EOTS is located under the nose in the sharp angled housing.

and this is called DAS in USA but in international aviation community called this system ETOS, and F-35 have this sharp angle housing under its nose

Does bigger means external width at the mouth or just widening of the internal channel of intake by repositioning of eqpt ?

DAS and EOTS are two different system and both are present in F35.

One is distributed cameras on the airframe for complete spherical tracking and missile warning(DAS) and the other is IRST & FLIR system (EOTS).

And no, it’s not an international aviation community term, both are names given to distinct system in F35 although people use the term for similar system emerging on other platforms, eg, J20 and FC31.

No same thing but names is different, its a electro-optical system for both jets , and you're diverting the topic, stick to the topic

Obviously, JF-17 Block III benefits from the development of J-10C and J-20.

No, your angle is slightly off. Try this, they look the same size:
