Wow. Hwasong-16 on stage behind Kim Jong Un at Defense 2021 meeting, more from @nknewsorg soon

@nknewsorg It's got everything. Hwasong-16, 15, 14, and that new "hypersonic missile"?

Hwasong-12 not 14 at the right, apologies

Looks like possibly the new cruise missile they tested recently on the ground there

Enjoying a cigarette together with top officials is sort of a motif state media uses when Kim Jong Un is especially happy with missile tests, or now displays

Also a KN-24 in new tan color scheme, thanks @JosephHDempsey for helping ID

@JosephHDempsey Design drawing for both color schemes on plans approved by Kim

BTW North Korea is calling the KN-24 its "Hwasong-11Na type ground-to-ground ballistic missile" (지상대지상탄도미싸일 <화성포-11나>형), where Na/나 seems like equivalent of B since Na is sorta the second 'letter' of the Korean alphabet

The missile is restless
