Saudi al-Duwadimi plant expansion suggests larger solid-fuel ballistic missiles

Commercial satellite imagery analysis indicates Saudi Arabia is expanding its al-Duwadimi missile production complex with a larger casting-pit building and possible storage facility, consistent with scaling up solid-propellant motor production. If accurate, this could enable domestic manufacture of larger solid-fuel ballistic missiles with longer range or heavier payloads (potentially DF-21-class), improving readiness and deterrence versus Iran and regional adversaries.
