Kim Jong Un guided “strike drill” of two rocket launch systems on Monday: KCNA State media says weapons tests helped improve readiness and accuracy of soldiers

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un personally led a “firepower strike drill” of “long-range artillery sub-units of the Korean People's Army” (KPA) on Monday, state media reported Tuesday morning. Published on the front page of the Party daily Rodong Sinmun and in the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) showed at least two types of multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) firing at island targets....

Nevertheless here are some photos of the provocation yesterday directed onsite by Fat Bastard (the 12th such launch into Sea of Japan by North Korea since last May and first of 2020 in violation of both the North Korea/South Korea Panmunjom Declaration and Singapore Statement:

Wonsan-Kalma, East Coast of DPRK

Source: Donga-A News, South Korea (trajectory, range/azimuth) These may have been KN-23s, maybe "large-caliber" MLRS. Not sure yet. At either rate, a clear violation of UNSCR 1718 . 20 second interval.

It is how he quarantines people. He sends them up and away.

Snappy dresser that Kim.

Here’s what he is up to, folks. Think about it: (Google Translation from major South Korea daily today:

“ At the same time, the provocation seems to be hitting drills targeting key South Korean targets. If you rotate the projectile's flight south, it will fall almost exactly to Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek US military base (Camp Humphreys). If the range is further increased by 30km, the Chungbuk Cheongju Air Force Base, where the F-35A stealth fighter is deployed, will enter the batter. The F-35A is a core strategic weapon against North Korea that strikes North Korea's nuclear and missile bases and TELs in case of emergency. A military official said, “The adjustment of the flight altitude to within 30km also shows the intention to break through interceptors such as THAAD (High Altitude Missile Defense System).”

240 clicks is a fairly good reach.

Dear Leader is the only one not wearing his Corona mask.

Their launch intervals is what is worrisome. Also, trajectory variations to defeat ROK/US defenses. They have been doing this all of the second half of 2019 and are now started on it again!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Note in the second photo here they have now blurred their monitors which are shown in the pics... because in the past, US and Japanese intelligence have been able to gain some good OSINT such as launch algorithms and mapping, by enlarging and clarifying these screens. Stupid assholes.

There is a political psych to that. "You all do as I say, not as I do." He is saying "I am invincible through this whole thing." It dovetails with the fact he is the ONLY fat person in all of North Korea. Just look at his body in comparison to his starving soldiers and even generals. This is CULT. "I am above all of you and different. Worship me".

Man oh man I wish someone would have long ago taken this little twerp out and further destabilized the regime.

The US has offered to help many times.

I’m sure he understands we can turn him into glass at any time.

Notice that everyone but Fearless Leader has a mask.

He must be worried about the virus.

Izzat one of those Russian sable hats from J Peterman?

Looks like he’s eating well from the storehouse.

He’s their “deity”. Doesn’t need one. /s

LOL! I can't even imagine the flowery description of that item. 😁
