Looks like the DongFeng 41 (DF-41) ICBM.
Almost identical.
Well we know what he wants us to think he has. Putin should be getting a call right about now.
Actually its identical to the Chinese ICBM. Not Russian.
Definitely
Only 7 rows of tires on Chinese mobile. From the drawing I saw. Looked like more segmented axial arrangement.
Hmmm..interesting. Upon further inspection I think it looks like a combined DF-41 and Russian RS-28 Sarmat.
Different missile but very similar carrier

Hardly. Anything they launch can be eliminated. Any other excuse is pure BS.
Quit faking and just snipe them if they do fire. Duh.
Always possible that they stole blueprints for the two mobiles, but the manufacturing required cannot just be stolen.
Truck appears to be a variant of the Chinese Wanshan WS51200

Apparently they also showed a new SLBM.
Has the US ever paraded ICBM’s or even medium range rockets the way the commies (Russia, China, NK) do?
I tried to search, and all I got were images of Russian, Chinese, and Nork military parades. Granted, we do military flyovers at various events.
Right number of tires. Just need a different cab.
KN-14 or KN-8 mod 2 maybe
Chinese made, Russian design
The way I see it...if the USA with a serious leader senses a real threat, we deal with it.
Anything else is just Politics and will float like a leaf and sting like a flower.
As a great war philosopher once said, all warfare is deception. He wants us to think he has operational mobile ICBM’s. So therefore, he must not have them operational yet. He will need to actually test fire one of these to prove that.
Russian missiles were modified for Chinese use. Most likely, some of each have been modified for North Korean use. More recently, Russia is probably the supplier of nuclear-weapons-related hardware and/or technologies and training.
It appears that China wants some control of ocean routes and natural resources but also wants to increase international trade and is willing to cooperate with the West for the sake of building more economic security. Russia has simply been spoiling for a fight and showing it off in many ways (flybys/probes, nuclear threats, expansionism, projections of propaganda against politics in other nations, etc.).
