Details

With the development of the Chengdu J-7 fighter jet in China, which was based on the MiG 21. the Chinese continued to exchange technological information with the USSR. China later developed the Shenyang J-8. This was based on the design of the Soviet Ye-152 developmental jet.

I have not been able to find much information on this helmet, but this helmet looks to be made in 2000, which would still put it with the later J-7 fighter aircraft or the J-8 Fighter.

During May 2013, production of the J-7 was permanently terminated, bringing to a close a period of manufacturing stretching almost 50 years.
