Hwasong-17 (March 2022)

              

Analysis

It is unclear what date the images have, released by North Korea, from the HS-17 launch from a runway at International Airport near Pyongyang. It was analyzed that the launch was before the March 24th. In any case, it is wrong that it is a discussed HS-15.
The images show without a doubt that this HS-17 vehicle was equipped with two swivelling "Pektusan B" engines (2x2 combustors) and had no control engines.
