China announced the backwardness of the Russian Su-57 from its fifth generation fighter.

The Chinese media again rained a wave of criticism on the fifth-generation Russian fighter Su-57. If it was previously reported that the Russian Su-57 can not be made any comparison with the Chinese Chengdu J-20, now it turned out that the Russian combat aircraft lags behind another fifth-generation Chinese fighter FC-31.

Chinese experts made similar conclusions on the basis of the armament of their latest fifth-generation fighter, the cost of which, when sold to other countries, could be about 50 million dollars. So, according to the Sina resource, the Chinese FC-31 will have 20 suspension points for various weapons, while the Russian Su-57 will have such 16 suspensions.

Nevertheless, despite the arguments of the Chinese media, experts believe that we are not talking about the superiority of the Chinese FC-31.

“The FC-31 is primarily a fifth-generation budget fighter. It is likely that he bypasses the Russian Su-57 in terms of armament, but in all other respects it will almost certainly be behind », - said the analyst Avia.pro.

Experts do not exclude that such statements may be related to an attempt to advertise for a Chinese combat aircraft, since recently the Chinese media have been quite actively criticizing the Russian Su-57, and, more often than not, it is absolutely groundless.
