Is it the yolk that makes it salty or is their one where they just add a lot of salt. That's the only thing I find salty. I hate the yolk and always get rid of it. Even the bean paste moon cakes with the yolk in them. I immediately remove before eating. The fatty piece of roasted pork that melts into the rice is what makes it taste good.

It’s bunk. We should all know here that FC31 isn’t ready for prime time. It isn’t even ready for public access cable.
It’s to early for serious export.
SU57 okay maybe... but even the Russia are not in mass production. They might as well go there own. Assuming all goes well it would take just as long.
This is bunk gents Turkey talking trying to spin a yarn.

It would be much harder and time consuming for Turkey to develop their own system.
I think the fact the 5th gen medium weight engine has showed up means the medium weight fighter, FC-31 or whatever, will happen.

BTW I was wrong about us seeing the latest medium weight prototype last month. But we did see the engine. So I guess I was not totally off the mark in term of some kind of related news to the program showing up back then.

Even if the FC-31 were ready, I don't think China's relationship with Turkey is currently good enough for its export.
FC-31 is not top of the line fighter, if it were ready and Turkey was willing to buy, I think China should export it. By exporting weapon, you gain influence and reputation of your weapon. More important, you earn the budget to develop new weapon. Look, how successful Chinese UAV is!
