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
230km ➡️ & 30km ⬆️ is an exact match for #NorthKorea 16 Aug 2019 ATacMS launch BUT their test of the system last week week indicated an interval time of ~5mins.
#NorthKorea confirms test launch of "super-large" MRLS

But seemingly without Kim Jong-un
This is the first time #NorthKorea has shown the 6 tube tracked MRLS configuration uncensored

The initial 31 July & 01 Aug 2019 were censored
This state media censorship - along with different initial terminology used - led to ambiguity as to if the intial tracked MRLS fired the same (KN-25?) guided projectile as the 4 tube wheeled MRLS seen subsequently.
The consistent 'super large' language and apparently identical launch cannisters (tubes) points to the same (KN-25?) projectile https://twitter.com/JosephHDempsey/status/1244405817497042950?s=20
Not sure how much to read into the slightly different markings however ...
One thing is certain though, #NorthKorea still hates that rock!
