What are solid-fuel missiles, and why is North Korea developing them?

IndiaTimes Monday, 15 January 2024
Solid fuel missiles are rockets that use a pre-packaged propellant mixture, as opposed to liquid-fueled missiles which require separate tanks for fuel and oxidizer. This seemingly simple difference has major implications for both missile capabilities and geopolitical concerns, especially in the context of North Korea's ongoing weapons development. North Korea is developing solid-fuel missiles to enhance its military capabilities and deterrence against potential threats from the United States and its allies. Solid-fuel missiles can increase the range and payload of North Korea’s missiles, as well as improve the accuracy and survivability of its missiles.
