North Korea 75th Anniversary Parade

That is, 75th of the North Korean Communist Party's Founding on 10 OCT 2020.

A lot of new toys showed up. This will have lots of photos.

Most of them are by Nathan Chatterton on a Facebook group taken from a video stream.

More AFVs

They've produced a MRAP-like vehicle:



They seem to have produced a new (M2018ish) 6x6 APC with clear BTR-40/60/70 etc lineage; and are using it to mount a new ATGM system that has clear similarities to the IsraelI SPIKE ATGM.




And like everyone else, they've gone into heavy 8x8 Wheeled APCs:



This is a tenatively designated M2018 8x8 APC with a KORNET/Bul'sae ATGM launcher.

MiG-29 continues in service






Most of the air force including MiG-23 and Su-25 have been repainted to that color scheme.
