China's First Nuclear Test

[DasKronprinz]

Damn that's fucken crazy. In the event of an actual nuclear attack, Chinese troops would put on their gas masks and charge at the fucking enemy. Am I the only one who think China is now a part of the bad-asses (Russia and United States)

I love the scene of the firemen rushing in with their hoses! What exactly where they planning to do??

[stephendonnelly88]

It was probably some mock drill in which the Chinese military would practice how they would respond to a nuclear attack.

[kenisimoo]

omg such an idiotic propagandra of nuclear war ... it makes me sad .. heh one good thing it was more than 50 years ago but ...

[azntranc3951]

dont they knew the dangers of running into a post nuclear blast ?

[BigBananaMan]

Of course not, the communist government would never tell them it's dangerous.

[albula642]

Why are they attacking nuclear dust?

[ub40fx1]

its this an actual propaganda film or dramatization

[stephendonnelly88]

No, I believe that this is real footage of China's nuclear weapon test.

Most likely, the filming was done by the Chinese government for propaganda purposes, but either way, the film is legitimate and not a reenactment.
