Chinese underground test video and other things

Guest

(All links are in chinese language:?)
Searching, I met a lot of sites where appears a sequence of images takes of a footage (documental?) of the second underground chinese nuclear test (october 27, 1975). I meet a video where appears a small piece of this footage. Also appear an awesome scene of the first chinese H-bomb. Here is the link:

Someone know this footage?

Apart from this, here are two images of chinese thermonuclears test. This image is of the first thermonuclear bomb test.

In this video can see the dissipation of the mushroom cloud:

And this is, allegedly, other big nuclear test. In atomicforum this test was called "CHIC-12", January 7, 1972, 1 mt.

This was a test of the KB-1 thermonuclear warhead dropped from a Qiang-5 attack aircraft. Photos of this test are often mislabeled as being China's first Hydrogen bomb test.

Last, here is a page where there are images of chinese warheads, missiles and bombs.

Regarding the "Chic-12" image, according to Johnstons Archive the test conducted on the 7th of Jan 1972 had an 8kt yield?

Yes. The date doesn't match. I begin to convince me that the photos are of the same test.

I still can not find the original video. The page where are the images of the underground test is the "primary source". There not says about what is the video where were taken the images.
Maybe the video isn't in the net.

I don't know, very confusing! I think the test date and yield is off. If you read the story of the man who actually piloted the Q-5 that dropped the weapon, clearly states that it was a thermonuclear device. It could also very well be any of the tests from 1968-1970. Very hard to put a positive ID on the pic, as the Chinese have not released any info on ANYTHING!
