North Korea Holds Midnight Military Parade Without Missiles

 

Warzone/The Drive: North Korea Trades Missiles For Militias At Its Latest Parade 

Dogs, horses, and tractors towing anti-tank missiles were the order of the day during the bizarre spectacle in Pyongyang. 

In a distinct change from North Korea’s familiar practice of unveiling new ballistic missiles and other high-profile equipment during large-scale military parades, the country’s capital early this morning hosted lines of marchers, including some in orange hazmat suits, as well as displays of troops with dogs and on horseback, while tractors towed rocket launchers and anti-armor weapons.

The latter category included what has been identified as a previously unseen version of the Bulsae-3 anti-tank guided missile, perhaps the standout item in what was, altogether, a truly unusual spectacle, even by North Korean standards. 

The parade, which was overseen by leader Kim Jong-un, looking notably slimmer than in the past, was held in Pyongyang’s Kim Il-sung Square to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). 

It was the first parade of its kind on such a scale since President Joe Biden took office in the United States and, all told, represented a significant change in style from similar events in recent years.

The messages we receive from our enemies are those of serious preparation for war.
Will we be ready too?

This to me highlights the growing notion that China is building nuclear chemical and biological weapons and that North Korea will keep fighting, even if they have no hardware, no missiles, nothing but hand held launchers and animals.

This is a very chilling notion, as NK is so close with China, well you just need to look at Covid19 and how after just 200 cases in China the North Koreans closed their country off.
