The Hwasong-10 () is a mobile intermediate-range ballistic missile developed by North Korea. Hwasong-10 was unveiled in October 2010 during a military parade and was tested several times in 2016, but only the test on 22 June 2016 was successful.
==Description== Hwasong-10 is a missile that is based on R-27 Zyb submarine-launched ballistic missile, but is slightly longer. It used a hypergolic combination of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) as fuel and nitrogen tetroxide (NTO) as oxidizer, which is similar to the liquid-fueled 4D10 engine of R-27. These propellants are much more advanced than the kerosene compounds used in North Korea's Scud and Hwasong-7 (Nodong) missiles. Once the fuel/oxidizer combination are fed into the missile, it could maintain a 'ready to launch' condition for several days, or even weeks, like the R-27 SLBM, in moderate ambient temperatures. A fueled Hwasong-10 would not have the structural strength to be safely land-transported, so the missile would have to be fueled at the launch site.
