In addition to being animated by the troop gorge, the military parade celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Workers’ Party was also a place to introduce new weapons.
One of them is North Korea’s newest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), said to be the largest weapon made by the country.
The reference is that when it was introduced in Kim Il Sung Square, the nameless ICBM was carried by a 22-wheeler truck.
In comparison, the Hwasong-15, which is North Korea’s largest ICBM and is considered to cover a distance of 12,000 km, is carried in an 18-wheeler.
