It featured a wide array of behemoth weapons and a showcase of military force that included 5,300 troops and 340 different kinds of military weapons and equipment, Reuters reported.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of particular note during the festivities were multiple flybys from helicopters, fighter jets, and bombers, including a U.S. B-1B supersonic bomber, and the display of the Hyunmoo-5, a ballistic missile capable of carrying an 8-ton warhead <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/north-korea-criticises-us-deployment-nuclear-assets-south-korea-2024-09-30\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">known as the &ldquo;monster.&rdquo;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>During the festivities, Yoon stressed the importance of his country showing &ldquo;peace through strength&rdquo; as a form of deterrence against potential North Korean aggression. Yoon also warned his country&rsquo;s neighbors to the north of engaging in military action against his country. Incidentally, this warning was the impetus for Kim&rsquo;s comments about nuclear retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, it will face a resolute, overwhelming response from our military and the U.S. alliance,&rdquo; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/north-korea-criticises-us-deployment-nuclear-assets-south-korea-2024-09-30\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yoon said<\/a>. &ldquo;That day will see the end of the North Korean regime.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This week&rsquo;s military parade was first revived in 2023 and appears to be an influenced response to North Korea&rsquo;s parades that show off its military prowess. Moreover, South Korea&rsquo;s new Strategic Command also debuted this week. The government entity will be responsible for tracking North Korean military weapons testing and responding to North Korea&rsquo;s use of weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kim was none too pleased and assured the world that North Korea did not take Yoon&rsquo;s words lightly.
