   SEOUL (Reuters) - The unidentified projectiles launched by North Korea early on Wednesday were ballistic missiles that flew about 250 km (155 miles), South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

   The projectiles appeared to be a different type to previous launches, minister Jeong Kyeong-doo said, according to South Korean news agency Yonhap.

   Burkan-3 that Houthis launched against target at 1200 km distance is probably locally modified Iranian Qiam ballistic missile (Burkan-2H was also a mod of Qiam). Warhead was probably made lighter and small to reach such range, as original Qiam have lower max range (800 km and ~750kg warhead).

It really is incredible how much of a mimic of the ATACMS the new missile is (I've heard it rumored as KN-25 under DoD codenames, which has been seen before in texts but nobody has seen a 'KN-25' so this may be it) - they even seem to have aped the M270 launcher design for this and the new heavy MLRS they showed off...

A prototype autoloader being tested at Yuma. Only holds 5 projectiles and charges so I assume the feeding mechanism is the point of interest.

Another interesting feature are the panels on the hull sides; is that to strengthen the hull or some basic armour? Also, is the turret bustle extended, too? Thanks for the images, Ramlaen.
