Imagery from North Korea’s April 25 military parade suggests the country has more vehicles capable of transporting intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) than previously thought, though experts caution it is still possible Pyongyang is attempting to mislead observers.
According to footage of the parade aired by Korean Central Television (KCTV), North Korea trotted out four transporter erector launchers (TEL) on Monday, with each carrying a Hwasong-17, Pyongyang’s largest ICBM to date.
