So, what did #NorthKorea launch?
“Both were fired... within a 20-second interval and flew around 230 kilometers at a maximum altitude of around 30 km, the JCS said”
Data most consistent with ‘super large calibre’ MRLS (KN-25?) Specifically 20 sec interval shown on 02 & 09 March

This is the first time #NorthKorea has shown the 6 tube tracked MRLS configuration uncensored
The initial 31 July & 01 Aug 2019 were censored
The initial 31 July & 01 Aug 2019 were censored

The consistent & #39;super large& #39; language and apparently identical launch cannisters (tubes) points to the same (KN-25?) projectile https://twitter.com/JosephHDempsey/status/1244405817497042950?s=20">https://twitter.com/JosephHDe...
