North Korea showcases world's largest mobile ICBM

by Nick Hansen & Nathan Hunt

North Korea displayed its latest mobile intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on 10 October 2020 at the parade in Pyongyang to mark the 75th anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea. The ICBM system – the largest mobile ICBM system ever built – has not been officially named, but it is widely referred to by researchers and analysts as the ‘Hwaseong-16’.

Four of the missiles were shown at the end of the parade and the enthusiastic reactions of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and his highest-ranking generals shown in the official footage suggested that these missiles were very popular with the North Korean leadership. As of mid-November 2020, the parade was the only public appearance of the Hwaseong-16.

The Hwaseong-16 is shown on a television news broadcast at a railway station in Seoul, South Korea, of a military parade commemorating the 75th anniversary of North Korea’s ruling Workers’ Party held in Pyongyang on 10 October 2020. The new missile is likely to have an impact on the US’s ‘nuclear umbrella’ in the region. (Jung Yeon-je/AFP via Getty Images)
