North Korea’s Grand Missile Display Goes Viral in Photos

North Korea’s grand nighttime missile display has taken the world by storm in viral photos, showing off its missile production capabilities to the world.

State media reported that the country displayed more intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) than ever before, including the Hwasong-17, which is considered North Korea’s largest ICBM.

It is suspected that the Hwasong-17 is capable of striking almost anywhere in the world with a nuclear warhead.

North Korea Missile Parade 2023

North Korea held its largest military parade to date on Wednesday evening, showcasing its latest weapons and capabilities to the world. The parade, which took place in Kim Il-sung Square in Pyongyang, was attended by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and his family.

The regime’s latest intercontinental ballistic missile, the Hwasong-17, was among the weapons displayed at the parade.

The Hwasong-17 is believed to be the largest road-mobile liquid-fueled ICBM in the world, capable of reaching the mainland of the United States.

Analysts believe that the Hwasong-17s displayed at the parade may feature solid fuel engines, which North Korea tested in December.

The parade also featured mid-to-long-range solid engine missiles, according to local media. With an estimated 22,000 people in attendance, this was the largest parade the North Korean regime has ever held.

This marks the fifth consecutive nighttime parade held by the North Korean regime, with the intention of creating a dramatic display. South Korea’s defense ministry is closely monitoring the parade and analyzing the scenes for any potential threats to international security.

The international community remains cautious about North Korea’s weapons capabilities and is closely monitoring its actions and developments in this regard.
