I'm not familiar with the Chinese side of social media, but I would be interested to read such articles, especially those involving PAF, can you please point me to the right direction
This recent article by a renowned Chinese analyst, a regular contributor to wellknown magazines, may be of interest.

This is part one focusing on battle order, organization and command and control of India/Pakistan airforces. Part two may come out in a few days on the fighter jets themselves and the May 7 battle.

It's in Chinese but google translation works

Things might get a lil bit awkward this coming 16th June at Paris Air Show. Chinese companies will have their booth and BaYi will perform with J-10CY no less.


I think - similar to the recent conflict - there is nothing confirmed yet and to portray it as if the "BaYi will perform with J-10CY no less" is already granted based on a report that a J-10 model will be shown is a bit far-fetched! Or do I miss an official confirmation?

Apologies, brain fart. I mean to say theres a list of Chinese aviation enterprises attending and it's going to get awkward if Ba Yi have a performance. Not saying they will perform there.

looks like we have the new generation HMD for PLA pilots. Can apparently realize 1064nm single band laser protection and let in 10-22% light, provide noise level protection. you can read the rest.

I'm pretty sure this is "only" the J-10C's HMD, unless it is just a representative image.

This is the HMD used by the PAF's J10CE.

PLAAF uses another type of HMD helmet for J-10C/J-16.

I'm not quite confident J-10C and J-16 have the same HMD (we have clear pictures of J-16's helmet, but not J-10C's helmet). OTOH, it would not be abnormal for J-10C and J-10CE to have the same HMD.
Though it is possible that the PLA's J-10C and the PAF's J-10CE/CP have different HMDs if the PAF was willing to buy something different.


Regardless, my point is that the HMD depicted in the weibo post is certainly not new, and is at least a few years old.
