cold weapon ( aka mean sword ,knife, stick , club , ... while gun are call hot weapon ) and hand to hand combat training source qdnd internet user in Vietnam used to joke why are we still training our soldier using cold weapon ( sword , stick , spear , ... ) few year ago mocking this cold weapon wont be used , which recent china india border fight show this type of training aint useless , if you read about Vietnam-sino war in 1979 you will see similar thing happened like with india in recent clash , the Chinese will provoke along the border using cold weapon and hand to hand fight , rock throwing too ( the diffirent is they used troop in civilian cloth to provoke , china indian border don't have civilian ) first Vietnamese soldier to die was a border guard officer beat by the Chinese while coming over to talk with the Chinese side ( talk about the issue to defuse the tension and ask the Chinese to back off ) if you watch the recent indian china clash ( the first clash where there 20 indian death ) you will see there are few indian officer dead , I bet they went infront to talk with they counter part Chinese officer and the talk broke down and the Chinese gang up on the officer while the rest charge the unprepared indian leading to huge lost on indian side , not the first time they attack surprise unprepared troop . the diffirentis indian have nuke and they more then willing to open fire on the Chinese which they did in the 3 clash where the Chinese using cold weapon ( spear)trying to charge a hill position that the indian control thinking there will be another cold weapon fight , the indian this time open warning fire and the Chinese back off , if both side cant defuse pretty much there will be a border war which will be interest to watch how china army will performance, if indian didnt have nuke I bet the Chinese will be more aggressive , nuke is the only thing holding the Chinese back from starting a fast border war like they did vs Vietnam in 1979 .
