[Breaking] N. Korea Reveals for the First Time What Appears to be a ‘New ICBM’ during their Parade on the ‘Day of Sun.’
2017.04.15
N. Korea revealed what appears to be a ‘new ICBM’ for the first time during their Military Parade Commemorating the 105th Birthday of President Kim Il-sung (the Day of Sun) on Apr. 15.
Military sources said, “It appears to be a new ICBM, and has a longer frame than KN-08 or KN-14.”

That was very funny!
This missile is the inevitable result of Clinton’s treason, Bush’s appeasement, and Obama’s sheer incompetence
ditto, the blame goes to these idiots who got us here and made the world a much more dangerous place
I like the fire extinguishers on the Russian variant.
Need ‘em to put out the brush fires after the launch.

Maybe a clue regarding the veracity of the Korean variant. If it were real, where’s the fire extinguisher? Little things like safety codes manifest a lot.
I wonder what a missile like that would weigh? Those truck tires don’t look very loaded down.
.... Well .... I’m pretty sure an ICBM has to actually have the ability to reach another continent to qualify as one. Kim Jong Haircut is lucky if his missiles sputter past the borders of the DPRK. So far the missiles have all fizzled around 2-300 miles. They may have a few warheads but as far as we know they do not have a tested delivery system to reach very far.
>Good, all we have to do now is sit back while Kim Jong Haircut perfects “the ability to reach another continent,”past the borders of the DPRK.” (sarcasm)
This is their "Big One" huh?
What, does this one make it 30 feet off shore before it crashes into the ocean?
I was blocked as well.
Wow....thanks for posting those pics.
Mr. Schmerler called the new ICBM, which appeared to have elements of two other ICBMS, the KN-08 and KN-14 missiles, a “frankenmissile.”
Chrome didn’t work for me, but Firefox did.
Wow, I have Firefox.

A close look at the launcher trucks brings doubt. The side of the vehicle is covered with panels. These panels don’t appear to be removable or open-able. What purpose do they serve? Are they just armor plating?
You can see this in the photos in 75. Here’s a close up of a very similar vehicle (cab differs)

Compare to the similar Russian Topol or especially Yars.

NK showed at least four of these at the missile parade. Their rocket launch today blew up almost immediately. I think these “new missiles” shown at the parade might be fake.
Video of missile parade, excellent close ups of the “new missiles”

The plates are welded on along their top edge. Kinda sloppy welds, too.
