North Korea has tested a “high-thrust solid-fuel motor” as a key step toward building a new strategic weapons system, state media reported.
Some experts say North Korea would eventually use an expanded arsenal to seek sanctions relief and other concessions from the United States.
“Unlike liquid propellant missiles, solid propellant missiles are fueled at the time of manufacture and can thus be released far more quickly in a war, all else being equal,” Panda said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d look to do additional testing and development of these motors before moving to flight-testing.
That’s a much more advanced method of thrust vectoring than a previous method traditionally used on the North’s shorter-range solid motor missiles, said Joseph Dempsey, research associate for defense and military analysis at the International Institute for Strategic Studies. He said while more efficient gimbaled nozzles may help maximize range, they are also more suitable for an ICBM.
