North Korea is flexing its military muscles again this week, but a closer look at images of the Hermit Kingdom's soldiers reveals that the fighting force may be better suited for propaganda than actual battle.

On Tuesday, the South Korean military reportedly confirmed that Pyongyang was conducting a massive live-fire artillery drill. A top North Korean official warned that a "brutal punishment" awaits the so-called "warmongers" in the U.S. and elsewhere. The bluster is not new, but this time, it is compounded by rising international tensions.

North Korea typically puts on its more headline-grabbing displays to mark some sort of anniversary, and Tuesday was no exception. The artillery drills come on the 85th anniversary of the founding of the nation's military. Less than two weeks ago, North Korea mounted both a failed ballistic missile test and a large military parade to mark the 105th birthday of the country's founder, Kim Il-sung.

North Korea put a variety of new missiles on display during the April 15 parade, and while at least one of them was reportedly a prototype, some experts thought they spotted actual “fakes.” A closer look at some of the soldiers in that parade suggests those missiles may not have been the only things that weren't quite battle ready.

“This was more about sending a message than being combat effective,” said Michael Pregent, a former Army Intelligence Officer with over 28 years of experience working conflicts around the world and now an adjunct fellow at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C.

Pregent took a look at several photos of North Korean soldiers from the April 15 parade and immediately began poking holes in them. Below are some of the takeaways he shared with Fox’s Investigative Unit.

This part made me laugh. . .

[/“If you look, you can see the plastic is over the muzzle,” Pregent said. And while he admits that some of the North Korean RPG capabilities could be real, the projectiles themselves would have to be fake “because Kim Jong Un doesn’t want them to launch one at the viewing stand,” whether by accident or on purpose.quote]

 

Pig boy 3 keeps increasing his threats while his waist line grows and the people of NK starve. Curious as to when the people and army grow tired of it? I guess I look at this with a different view.

I believe the fat kid would order his troops to be drugged so they can commit mass suicide by charging ROK and U.S. lines.

It must happen sooner or later. Who knows, maybe they have already had many attempts on his life that they never publish? Unfortunately the task would probably be greater than just killing him. You would want to take out any of his family and top generals to make sure no one tries to seize power in the void.

C'mon  he's killing his own  family and top generals 

I'm more scared of what's on the end of these rifles.

Hmm, latex or glass...
