They aren't going to fuel them one at a time, right?

I'll let you know when I learn to speak Mandarin, it's down the list a little.

Their SLBMs are obv solid fueled but they are not MIRVed and their CEP is terrible. It's a retaliatory weapon.

Our B61s have a rumored CEP of something <10 meters.

The hell does the fuel component composition matter? They are enough to get into orbit, whether liquid or solid? That's all they need, yes?
