Nuclear-armed North Korea showcases its missile production muscle during a night-time parade, displaying more ICBMs than before and hinting at a new solid-fuel weapon.
abc.net.au/news/north-korea-shows-off-largest-ever-number-of-nuclear-missiles/101954372Nuclear-armed North Korea showcased its missile production muscle during a night-time parade, state media reported on Thursday, displaying more intercontinental ballistic missiles than ever before and hinting at a new solid-fuel weapon.
"The message Pyongyang wants to send internationally, demonstrating its capabilities to deter and coerce, will likely come in the form of solid-fuel missile tests and detonation of a miniaturised nuclear device." "This is cumulatively more ICBM launchers than we've ever seen before at a North Korean parade," he said in a tweet.Alongside them at the parade were what some analysts said could be a prototype or mock-up of a new solid-fuel ICBM in canister launchers.Developing a solid-fuel ICBM has long been seen as a key goal for the country, as it could make its nuclear missiles harder to spot and destroy during a conflict.
