Kim Jong-un has named his favourite missile launcher a national hero putting its status on par with the North Korean leader's dad and grandad.
The Hwasong-17 launch vehicle 321 was decorated with a Hero of the Republic medal, as well as the Gold Star medal and Order of the National Flag, First Class.
The strange move puts the launch vehicle in a similar class to Kim Jong-il, Kim Il-sung, Fidel Castro and Muammar Gaddafi.
