Defense cooperation with other states seems to be the right thread to post about Chinese – Belarus military cooperation (I did not find a separate thread for this). Attached one can see Chinese officers at the 7th international defense technology expo MILEX 2014 that takes place in Minsk on 9-12 July this year which means right now. Pics Belta news agency as the bar at the bottom clearly shows.

Aviadarts 2014 have concluded a short clip from Russian TV
Too much said and shown to translate all but:
1. The prises were cars and bikes
2. The first place was wont by RuAF pilot Georgiy Dedio
3. The PLAAF participation is shown about 1 : 50 – 2 : 05. If I understand correctly one of the Chinese Flankers suffered a birdstrike but fortunately without serious damage. The Chinese missed one of their targets but still did well – see 4
4. The PLAAF pilot Wan Zhen (not 100% sure – this is how it sounded phonetically in the clip) was second, you can see him and the Chinese team posing with a car they won at 3 : 14
5. During the competition a forest fire broke out and one could see Il 76 ‘water bombers’ in action.
6. It is interesting to note that decommissioned L 39 trainers were used as targets.

Military pilots of the 116th guards attack aviation base of the air and anti-aircraft defense forces of the Republic of Belarus finish second at the international aviation competition Aviadarts 2014 that was held in Russia.
The Belarusian team (three Su-25 crews) was behind the winner just eight points in the final.
The competitions that included aerial navigation and target reconnaissance also featured transport aviation, fighters and helicopters. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu put forward an initiative to hold such competitions in 2013. Partaking in Aviadarts 2014 were pilots from Belarus, China and Russia.
Original story:
Let me add, that the above is not mutually exclusive with PLAAF being second because the competition was held in several categories fighters, grind attack aircraft, helicopters etc. as mentioned in my previous post a Chinese pilot was second in fighters while the PLAAF did not send ground attack aircraft or helicopter teams.

Ok – Peace Mission 2014 concluded. This is what China Central TV English had to say & show (video, text and pics), link:
Some of the things I consider to be of note:
The drill lasted 6 days involving 5000+ troops form 5 countries.
The drill took place on the Zhurihe training base in North China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
The drill starts with ground and aerial reconnaissance of terrorist forces on a highland.
Having pinpointed the terrorists’ position, joint military forces carry out strikes with precision guided weapons.
Strikes and reinforcements also come from above – use of aircraft, helicopter, notably combat (armed) UAVs, aerial drops were also conducted.
An important part of the drill were urban anti-terror operations. Special forces from five parties carry out hostage rescue in a simulated city area.
It is interesting to note that for the first time, 30 Chinese female special ops have taken part in the anti-terror operation.
There also appeared to be a high level of cooperation and good tactical info sharing among the participating militaries.
