We're not sure why exactly this video exists, but the important thing is that it does, and it involves a group of Chinese soldiers throwing around a hand grenade before tossing it into a hole and diving away all Mission Impossible-style. It's probably some sort of military training practice, which is a million levels of weird, and, as The Atlantic Wire points out, it's absolutely a testament to "just how serious (or seriously crazy) the Chinese military can be."

No word on the actual authenticity of this video, but we're going to go ahead and assume everything, right down to the grenade, is completely real.

Cue the Bruno Mars jokes.
