North Korea unveiled what appeared to be new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) at its Day of the Sun parade, amid increasing fears its trying to develop a model that could hit the United States.
North Korea showed two new kinds of ICBM enclosed in canister launchers mounted on the back of transporter erector launcher trucks, or TELs.
The larger missile was similar in appearance to the Chinese DF-41, which can fly 9,000 miles.
If the Korean missiles actually work, and have a similar range to the Chinese missile, they could hit the continental US. But it’s very unlikely that North Korea has that technology at this stage.
Also on show for the first time was the North’s submarine launch ballistic missiles (SLBM).
Kim Jong Un kicked off the parade commemorating the 105th anniversary of his late grandfather’s birthday and rolled out a military arsenal that also included submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM), which also made their debut on Saturday.
Tensions have been mounting in recent weeks, and North Korea has issued several warnings threatening to ‘pulverize’ US troops and retaliate in response to any military action.
