Sŏn'gun-915 tanks. The grenade launchers were replaced by a KPVT again. MANPADS and ATGM launchers are missing as well.

Maybe those are different submodels? One with GLs and missiles, another is normal vehicles.

Can't rule that out, but tanks with the same turret numbers (for example you can see the tanks numbered "107" and "108") can be seen in different parades with and without GLs/MANPADS/ATGMs. Same applies to the Ch'ŏnma.

Better overview of the self-propelled 8x8 tank destroyer - seemingly both laser warning system and a situational awareness system are planned. Also has an RWS.

Note the green scale model in the back... IFV?

The 152 or 155 mm round touched by Kim Jong-un seems to be fitted with the North Korean equivalent of the M1156 precision guidance kit.

The green vehicle behind Kim Jong-un in the second photo - is that a first look at an indigenous North Korean tracked IFV with autocannon? The alternative theory is that it might be a self-propelled mortar... but with a rather thin barrel. The latter theory would at least explain the mortar round picked shown in one of the earlier pictures.

And also a (blurred out) look at North Korean tank ammunition - unitary, so as expected they most likely still use 115 mm guns.

Those look like regular 120x570mm rounds.

Really doubt that this thing have a mortar. Looks like 30 mm with a brace/shroud, like on Ukranian BTR-3Es. Attempt to control vibrations when full-auto is my guess.

Not sure why would Norks need a wheeled gun carrier, it isn't going to be capable AFV in current situation with South being saturated with AT weapons. Although nice to see them trying into RCWS and new observation systems.
