As North Korea prepares to stage a major military parade this weekend, speculation is rampant that Pyongyang will use the occasion to unveil an "October surprise" in the form of a powerful new weapon system.

Now, Korea-watchers are studying various portents related to the upcoming Oct. 10 parade, and are couching predictions based on an ominous warning late last year from North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un.

 

"The world will witness a new strategic weapon to be possessed by the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] in the near future," Kim said at a Workers' Party meeting in December.

 

The yet-unrevealed weapon could be set to make its debut on Saturday, experts said.

 

"It might be some sort of improved solid-fuel capability," former CIA analyst Jung Pak told a German newspaper. Solid-fueled missiles are easier to move and faster to launch than are their liquid-fueled counterparts, and would represent a significant advance for Pyongyang.
