A military parade was held on Wednesday to mark the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the army in North Korea. During this, about 1 dozen Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) were displayed in the capital Pyongyang. The parade started at Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang. During this, dictator Kim Jong appeared with his wife and daughter.

 

Releasing pictures of the parade, North Korean media KCNA called it proof of the country's nuclear attack capability. 11 Hwasong-17 missiles are visible in these photos. This is North Korea's largest Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) which can launch a nuclear attack anywhere in the world. Prototypes of the new solid-fuel ICBM were also seen in the parade.

 

North Korea is currently using liquid fuel in missiles

Liquid fuel is used in large ballistic missiles in most countries. Since 2017, North Korea has tested only ICBMs with liquid fuel. Missile launch with liquid fuel takes more time. Whereas with the help of solid fuel, the missile gets more mobility and also takes less time to launch. Because of this, it is believed that North Korea is using solid fuel in new missiles. A prototype of a solid-fuel ICBM is shown at the parade.

 

It will be difficult to track missiles with solid fuel

Making solid fuel ICBMs has long been a main goal of North Korea. Due to this, it can be difficult to identify and target these nuclear missiles in case of war. Although there is no information about when North Korea will test these missiles. Even before this, North Korea has displayed prototypes of missiles in the parade.

 

North Korea has been conducting missile tests continuously

Several jets, turboprop aircraft, and helicopters with colorful lights were seen flying low over Kim Il Sung Square before the parade began. Despite the sanctions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), North Korea has been continuously testing large and advanced missiles.
