North Korean weapons displayed during parade are FAKE and their sunglasses aren't even combat ready, claims US military expert

North Korea's large-scale military parades and weapons displays are intended for propaganda purposes since the arms carried by the troops are largely fake, according to a US military expert. A former US Army intelligence officer who was asked to look at photographs from an April 15 military parade in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang. The former officer, Michael Pregent, said he believes that many of the arms flaunted by menacing-looking North Korean troops (like the RPGs seen above) during the parade are dummies. Even the sunglasses worn by the 'commandos' (inset) aren't combat-ready, according to Pregent.
