Is this image made by you?

Wait is that image not photoshop? Blk 3 actually is receiving HOBS missile and presumably with HMDS?

Hi Deino, if it isn't too much to ask, I've heard that Block 3 Thunder has an additional fuselage pylon dedicated for carrying pods. I believe this piece of information has been circulating around for a while now, but can't seem to find any evidence to back it up or disprove it... so is it true or not true (or do we need more information)?

The F-22 uses AIM-9X and I don't think they've integrated HMDS.

Nope, it's indeed real!

No problem and indeed, there is an attachment point for an additional pylon.

Did anyone notice, the prototype spotted carrying the PL-10E AAM is not the first we've seen in December 2019?

So no. 3000 was the first prototype and this one no. 3001 is the second?

I’m gonna @huitong in case he hasn’t found out about this yet.

Oooh thanks a lot!!

p.s. If I'm not mistaken the Block 3 moved the rear hemisphere MAWS from below the vertical stabilizer to the top, and added front hemisphere MAWS on the sides of intakes (or at least that's what I believe what the grey protrusions are)
