Analysis Infographic: North Korea’s smallest military parade in years still packs a punchKim Jong Un embraces less is more approach, reducing scale but rolling out new ICBM, hypersonic missile and drone assets North Korea’s first military parade in more than two years ended up being one of the smallest of Kim Jong Un’s rule, though that didn’t stop the regime from demonstrating its rapidly evolving capabilities with striking new assets. Tanks, artillery, rockets and ballistic missiles all rolled through Kim Il Sung Square for the 80th anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea on Friday. The most attention-grabbing asset was the massive new Hwasong-20 solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile, which puzzled analysts due to its close resemblance to its predecessor, the Hwasong-19.
