New ICBM missiles at North Korea parade 'fake'

1. The markings on each of the missiles are different. Some possibly show filling or draining valves for liquid propellant - inconsistent with other design features that suggest a solid fuelled system.

2. The missiles are not perfectly aligned to the launch table. This suggests it is hard to bolt the missile down in launch configuration.

3. Undulations in the surface metal of the warhead suggest thin sheeting over stringers or formers (supports) unlike the more substantial construction required of a real warhead.
