North Korea recently tested its latest intercontinental ballistic missile (IBM) – Hwasong-18.
Soild-fueled missiles used a solid propellant composed of fuel and oxidizer that is tightly packed into the rocket’s motor. This mixture is stable and can be stored for long periods without significant degradation. Solid-fueled ICBMs have shorter launch preparation times because the propellant is already inside the missile, making them more responsive to sudden launch orders. They are typically more mobile as they can be easily transported on vehicles without the need of additional fueling equipment.
An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is a ballistic missile with a range greater than 5,500 km primarily designed for nuclear weapons delivery. They differ from other forms of ballistic missile by their much greater range and payload capacity.
The first ICBMs were developed by the Soviet Union in 1958; the United States followed the next year and China some 20 years later.
A three stage ICBM is a type of ICBM that has three stages which are used to propel the missile to its target.
