And now they will start to analyze changes in centimeters and millimeters with a vernier calliper.

AESA radar might be the ONLY major impactful change in Blk3.

Nozzle is clearly that of a ws13.

Will have to see both nozzles side by side to determine accurately (RD93 and WS13)

@Deino

That's clearly a ws13 man.

It is without the radar.

Not unexpected for a maiden flight

 

[TheTallGuy]

Some new bulges on the top of it though. New EW?

i think that new bulge is use to the same at the base of the rudder now moved to more optimum position at top of the rudder
