Pyongyang carried out the largest-known display of its long-range nuclear strike capabilities on 8 February when it celebrated the 75th founding anniversary of its army.
On display at the parade include about a dozen 11 axel transporter erector launcher (TEL) vehicles with what appears to be either the Hwaseong-16 or Hwaseong-17 two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
Both the Hwaseong-16 and Hwaseong-17 were first unveiled at a similar military parade in 2020, and both are estimated to be about 25–26 m in length and about 2.8 m in diameter.
Both missiles are designed with a nosecone that is large enough to carry multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) and post-boost vehicles. Both the weapons have an estimated range of about 8,000 miles (12,875 km).
