North Korea shows off new missiles in huge military parade, but doesnt test nuke

1. Good read. Glad there was no test but the missiles are concerning
One of the missiles looked similar to the KN-08 intercontinental ballistic missile that North Korea had included in previous parades. This missile has a theoretical range of about 7,500 miles, which is enough to reach all of the United States from North Korea, said Joshua Pollack, editor of the Nonproliferation Review.
It also put two ICBM canisters, which protect solid-fueled missiles from the effects of the environment, on the trucks that had carried the ICBMs previously. One may have been a KN-14, another missile capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, although it has a slightly shorter range.
The trucks that carried the missile canisters were Chinese ones that had been exported to North Korea’s forestry ministry but have shown up in military parades like this one.
Saturday’s display was worrying, Hanham said.

5. Question is were they real missles or mock ups? Its relatively easy after all to create a fake
missile all you need is some paint and other things and throw in a little time and just about anyone can make one that looks real but making one that is real that can launch and making a number of them? That takes a hell of alot more tech and resources and I dont see N Korea having enough of all of that to pull it off in great numbers atleast not without help from a friendly neighbor.

Their disappointment is palpable and predictable.
