A 2020 clash between Chinese and Indian troops fighting with sticks and clubs

Radio War Nerd talked about this. This specific border area is "demilitarized" and neither side is allowed to have guns. So when a fight broke out it was just a huge fucking brawl of basically nationalist football hooligans beating each other up with blunt objects at 8,000 feet.
