Their domestic TEL.What is it then?
On April 2, North Korea launched a new medium-range ballistic missile, the Hwasong-16B. Traditionally, the launch was personally led by Kim Jong-un. The Hwasong-16B missile is equipped with a newly developed hypersonic glide warhead. North Korea said it has fully denuclearized its missiles and armed its hypersonic missiles with nuclear warheads. The Hwasong-16B solid-propellant missile flew about 1000 km reaching a maximum altitude of 101.1 km, hitting a conditional target in the waters of the Korean East Sea. South Korean authorities said they estimated the total distance traveled by the missile to be about 600 km. The estimated flight range of the Hwasong-16B missiles is up to 5,500 kilometers
That seems like a massive glide vehicle or is this the normal size of one?
You can make them as small or large as you want. I think Russia's Avangard glide vehicle should also be pretty large given the required launcher.
You can put a pretty huge unitary thermonuclear warhead on a glide vehicle like this one the North Koreans made I think.
This should make it easier for North Korea to bypass missile defenses in the region like AEGIS, AEGIS Ashore, or THAAD.
Russia has a similar missile program. The RS-26 Rubezh. But the program development has been frozen. Supposed to use a Yars derived first stage with a glide vehicle and to be launched from mobile launchers. Such weapon systems are basically banned by the INF Treaty. But the US left the INF Treaty to develop weapon systems like the Dark Eagle.
