Two German analysts say ballistic missiles unveiled in a North Korean military parade earlier this month were clumsy fakes.
In a paper titled, "A Dog And Pony Show," Markus Schiller and Robert Schmucker of Germany's Schmucker Technologie wrote that the six intercontinental ballistic missiles carried on mobile launchers within the April 15 parade were all bad mock-ups.
The paper said the missiles gave the impression to be a mishmash of liquid-fuel and solid-fuel components that can never fly together. Moreover, undulating casings at the missiles suggested the metal is just too thin to resist flight. The 2 analysts said each missile was slightly different from the others, although all were supposedly an identical make, and so they failed to even fit the launchers that carried them.
Schiller and Schmucker said there's still no evidence that North Korea actually has a functional ICBM.
The large military parade, including nearly 900 pieces of military equipment, passed off on April 15 to commemorate the 100th birth anniversary of North Korea's first leader, Kim Il Sung.
