The international military aviation competition Aviadarts-2015 is a part of ARMYGAMES-2015. The pilots from 4 countries (Russia, China, Belarus and Kazahstan) are competing in pilot skills and combat application. AVIAMIX was called a tactical episode, but in fact this is a specific airshow with a mix of aerobatics and examples of combat application from all stages of Aviadarts competition. Unfortunately there was a tragic catastrophe with Mi-28 during the show, so it was canceled at 1/3 of planned program.
