#7 Possible copy of the Chinese M-18?

From video stills, it seems they are still using sharp, pencil shaped nose cones - their reentry technology is quite primitive.

Compare this with the Indian Agni-2 nose
- carbon fibre ablative, blunt nose cone (for higher reentry speed) with fins and thrusters (for RV manuevering).
