2 interesting things in these pictures - the female pilots of the JH-7A bomber fighter, and the KG600 self-defense ECM pod.

Cool pics.

I got a few basic questions. What are those bands just below their knees?
Looks like a strap retainer?

Maybe for ejection seat's leg-securing pull to avoid hitting the legs on the avionics. Could also be part of the g-suit, limiting blood flow to the legs.

Edit: On second thought, probably not part of the g-suit since they use inflatable cushions to restrict blood flow as opposed to discrete straps.
