M5 is a type of helmet which is used with the installation of the last fase of the MLU upgrade. So expect some F-16's from other participating MLU nations, Portugal, Belgium, Norway, Denmark.

Correct me if I am wrong.

In my understanding the "M" is the version of the software of the electric jet also reffered to as "the tape". Together with the software comes hardware additions / changes. The new helmet is also included.
