I saw this live and laughed so hard. Couldn't they have just... you know... film a dude in a tiny boat somewhere?

That's an older article from a couple of years ago, so yeah, NK has a habit of faking missile launches.

Also, he won't even think of the children when he's smoking

Wait, why is doraemon being fucked by a dog.
Does the dog represent North Korea and Doraemon Japan?
lol

Looks real enough. I'm sure they have the capability of launching a missile why fake it?

Cheaper to fake it than to make it.

Someone tell Dear Leader to plug his ethernet cable in if he wants Korean Internet.

Ethernet doesn't fit in the phone jack. He's waiting for that USR 56k goodness.

Oh, by the way:

The validity of the test has not been independently confirmed, and some officials are skeptical of the images published by North Korea.

Wait what is this?

At least Doraemon looks happy about it.

I don't think he wants that >.>

 

[Extra Sauce]

What's going on between those stuffed animals in the background?

Holy shit.

North Korea modified submarine missile launch photos, says U.S. official

Photographs showing a North Korean missile launched from a submarine were manipulated by state propagandists and the country may be years away from developing such technology, analysts and a top U.S. military official said on Tuesday.

But North Korea is still "many years" from developing submarine-launched ballistic missiles, U.S. Admiral James Winnefeld told an audience at the Centre for Strategic & International Studies in Washington on Tuesday.

"They have not gotten as far as their clever video editors and spinmeisters would have us believe," said Winnefeld, who is vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Analysis seen by Reuters from German aerospace engineers Markus Schiller and Robert Schmucker of Schmucker Technologie appeared to support Winnefeld's statement.

The Munich-based pair said photos of the launch were "strongly modified", including reflections of the missile exhaust flame in the water which did not line up with the missile itself.

The pair agreed with analysis posted by experts on the websites 38north.org and armscontrolwonk.com that the missile was likely launched from a specially designed submerged barge, and not from a submarine

A photo on state television showed a missile high in the sky leaving a trail of white smoke, whereas other photos from state media showed no white smoke, suggesting the two photos were of different missiles with different propulsion systems, Schiller and Schmucker said.

tl;dr: missile may have been real but it wasn't launched from a submarine #TeamFake

 

[butalala]

NK just released a video of the submarine that fired the missile. Check it out and see for yourself.
