I was talking about Porkistan.
First let them build a 3g fighter like Marut or Ajeet (JFT is a licensed assembly itself). Anything beyond can be imagined only thereafter.
Pakistan doesn't stand anywhere in any kind of industry. So, bringing it in every debate is wastage of bandwidth. Mocking them doesn't earn us any buck.

Some sort of auxiliary intake scoop & exhaust.
The hump is there in @WahmanRespector 3-D render & the spec/info board from AI'21 upon suitable magnification-


but absent in the TarmakTalking video from just before AI'21:

also absent is the center partition in IWB:
no-center-wall.png


source video for above two screen grabs:

Everyone is clueless. But here are some attempts on BR & twitter:
  • Could be housing for towed decoy or chaff/flares
  • Probably for launching active decoys....
  • Maybe drag chute like f-35?
  • May be an auxiliary power unit

The above 2 designs are different.
This design was reported last year by ananth krishnan.

This is the final design revealed by both drdo and ADA chief

That hump like structure is not present in above two models.

Takes a keen eye to tell the two apart!- even the wing shape is different. But if the hump & center partitioned IWB is a further refinement of the original design then ADA must have very good reasons to put them there.
