Something unforgettable here:

Nuclear test in China, with supporting attacks by infantry and cavalry, all in grand heroic style.

Looks like a similar idea to the Desert Rock tests [1]. Though I don't think any of the Desert Rock soldiers galloped onto an atomic battlefield on horseback while wearing a gas mask and wielding a sword like one of the guys in your video did.

I should note the horses are wearing gas masks too.
