Altho the recent dprk military parade was pretty low key with nothing much of interest vis-a-vis new weapons,it seems that the dprk was just waiting for the right moment to finally let us know what was in those new extended length KN06/pon`gae-5 type canisters that we first saw in the last big parade
Tho the vehicle in the bottom launch pic looks like its a new unitary tel,rather than the earlier trailer/prime mover version thats clearly based on the new KN06/Pon`gae-5 tel.Plus its also packing 5 launch tubes rather than 4.
It looks like its one of these tels,tho these appear to be ballistic missile transporters
The reversed cone style air intake is a bit unusual,it also looks like it might be fixed judging from the fact that its clearly visible as its still exiting the launch tube,the wings also appear to be slightly swept in the pic,but this could be them just in the process of deploying.
Range is claimed to be the same as the roks hyunmoo 3c [1500kms],no surprises there of course.Tho I do wonder what type of engine it uses,probably a turbofan,but which one?.One obvious possibility would likely be the R95-300 via iran.
