North Korea has successfully tested a “powerful solid propellant engine” to develop new weapon typeThis was reported by state media on Friday.

Despite strict international sanctions against its weapons and nuclear program, the communist country has built up an arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles (intercontinental ballistic missiles).

All his intercontinental ballistic missiles it is known to run on liquid fuel, but the North Korean leader Kim Chen In Last year, he said developing solid-fuel engines for more advanced rockets was a strategic priority.

Thursday, the same Kim Chen In supervised a test of a “high-speed solid propellant engine,” a North Korean news agency reported. CTAC.

This edition states that it was an important test “for the development of yet another new type of strategic weapon system.”

Photographs released by local media show Kim watching a test at the Sohae Spaceport as a horizontal engine emits yellow flames.

Another image shows him with a lit cigarette in his hand and thick white smoke coming out of the engine behind him.

Liquid-propellant rockets are difficult to operate and require a lengthy preparation period before launch, analysts say. For this reason, they are slower and easier for the enemy to spot.

Instead, missiles solid fuel they are “more mobile, faster to launch and easier to hide and use during conflict,” said Leif-Erik Isley, a professor at Seoul’s Ewha University.

“Once deployed, this technology will make North Korea’s nuclear forces more versatile, reliable and dangerous,” he added. (AFP)
