Nice, so for others who can't tell, the helmets in the first post quoted are the J-20 HMD, and the helmets in the second post quoted are the J-16 HMD.
Note that the images of the J-16 HMD clearly show a single projector over the right eye so it is a monocular HMD. We've seen that before as well, but this is just further clear confirmation.
We cannot clearly see whether the J-20 HMD is monocular or binocular, but from past info display on it, it should be binocular.
J-20 HMD
J-16 HMD
Edit:
Lol, nvm, this screen cap confirms J-20 HMD is indeed binocular.
Is there any added benefit with adding the dragon scale motif? I remember seeing a scale motif on tanker overalls somewhere, but I still wonder what their utility is. Would any of the more knowledgeable members know?New (fashionable) flight suits, with dragon scale motif.

According to the video, it's done for fashion. There are two flight suit design themes: dragon and eagle. The dragon flight suits have the scale motifs, and the eagle has wing motifs on the upper sleeves, back, and thighs.

Not sure how true is the 60 km range claim, can anyone confirm?
