North Korea displays new solid-propellant ICBM at a military parade
North Korea"s state news agency stated that the latest ICBM was carried using a Hwangsong-17 missile carrier. It is said that North Korea"s solid-fuel ICBM could potentially reach the US mainland. The solid fuel offers greater mobility for the missile and reduces launch preparation time. The liquid-propellant technology requires a cooling process before launching.
