Ukrainian F-16 pilots are outfitted with Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) helmet-mounted display system developed by Israel's Elbit Systems & Rockwell Collins (Collins Aerospace).

— It allows the pilot to aim sensors and weapons simply by looking at a target.

— The JHMCS consists of electronics installed in the aircraft and a specialized helmet that interfaces with them.

— It displays flight information on the helmet visor and enables targeting based on where the pilot's head is facing.

— Russia simply has no helmets of this level.
