Another sighting of the HMD on what I assume to be a J-16 pilot.

Hi is it necessary to have HUD in your fighter plane if you are having HMD
as someone somewhere mentioning about no HUD for F35 as the pilot is using HMD
if possible to answer
thank you

I think Chinese Helmet are not the same as F-35 HMD, it look more like JHMCS that currently a standard in USAF. They are use to enhanced situation awareness and dog fight but not replace HUD entirely like the one on F-35.

So, to you question. Yes, if you have HMD that is as capable as the one on F-35 then you don't need HUD but the plane need to designed around this concept. It's not something that can just add-in by replace helmet.

All J-16s have AESA radar.

How many J-11s are fitted with AESA radar? That is, the J-11BGs and J-11Ds.

Meanwhile, are there any plans to fit other, older variants of J-11 with similar AESA radars as well in the coming future? (Similarly, for J-10 variants before the C variant)
