The day before the start of the South Korean, the DPRK demonstrated practically its entire military arsenal during the next military parade in Pyongyang. Despite the fact that the main military this time did not exceed the scale of the previous military show in the capital of North Korea, he gave more than a visual representation of the combat capabilities of the DPRK armed forces.

Intercontinental ballistic missiles of the Khwasong-15 type (Hwasong-15) passed through the main square of Pyongyang.

The product is placed on a self-propelled wheel conveyor with nine axles. Thus, this is one of the variants of the North Korean PGRK - a mobile ground-based missile complex. The basis is the chassis of a Chinese-made truck WS51200. The DPRK has converted these tractors purchased in China into wheeled chassis for mobile ground-based missile systems with intercontinental ballistic missiles.

According to experts, there are only six such installations in North Korea. Analysts believe that there could be strategic nuclear missile system on board, but the development of North Korean PGRK severely limits the deficit of Chinese multi-axle chassis. Beijing was very annoyed when it found out what its WS51200 chassis was used for.
