Parading a fancily decorated empty metal tube in front of State run television cameras is one thing

That thought crossed my mind, too. I reckon someone somewhere is checking the chassis height on the carrier vehicles against an empty one and the amount of 'squat' in the tires...just to see how much weight is involved, here.

I believe all of their missiles are liquid fueled anyway, so they would have to parade them around empty.

NoKos are accomplished sneaks, and it would not be difficult to gin up a passable fake that is mounted on a carrier. They go to a tremendous amount of effort to make statements and I don’t put a stunt like this past them for a moment.

The female soldiers appeared to be carrying a new version of the North Korean made Ak-74.

The NK military already does that... and they haven’t collapsed yet.

Just imagine how much worse it’ll be when it goes.

Another liquid propellant missile. Liquid propellant missiles are prone to accidents.Liquid propellants are subject to slosh, which has frequently led to loss of control of the vehicle. This can be controlled with slosh baffles in the tanks as well as judicious control laws in the guidance system.
