You misunderstood me a bit. I think it's same helmet used by the J-20 pilots. I meant that because your photo was taken using a fisheye lens, it might have distorted its proportions, making the visor appear much further away from the pilot's face than what is the case in reality.

Pardon again if I was misleading. I know what helmet it is but I was not sure, what aircraft and after siege's question I was even less sure.

Therefore thanks.

My point concerning the possibility of an HMD due to these strange structures on top and the sides similar to the Israeli helmet. I think @Bltizo already mentioned it when we saw that helmet for the first time that this is probably now only a new helmet but with the option to be HMD-capable later.

Or am I wrong again?

Ooops, in typing out my reply, I missed the posts from Siege. I now see what you meant.

Ohhhh, stupid me ! :(:eek:o_O:mad::confused:

That's CCTV for you. From now on, we should all take CCTV's stock footage with additional mountains of salt. And to be fair, I was hoodwinked too, since the quality of the photos was rather poor and the cockpit was mostly obscured from the viewers by the pilot. ;)

Oh, don't tell this some certain special members at the PDF, they take all on CCTV for granted since it is "direct from the horse's mouth" :p
