An interesting observation about this North Korean missile silo reveal (of sorts) is the way they staged Kim's walk through the woods on his way to inspect the silo. They never showed the silo, but I want to walk through it for those that missed it. 1/7 Watching the video of the launch () you can see a series of images of Kim Jong Un and the gang, walking through the woods, leaves on the ground, freshly sprouting pines of sorts, and some pretty cinematic fog. 2/7

This is some good work as always from @38NorthNK - one of the wonderful things about sat. image interpretation is that different eyes can give fresh perspectives on different signatures - but this is a little thread on the [cylindrical canister on a truck] and its implications The image in question - is here. My thoughts on why its not a missile canister basically boil down to that one magical multi-use white truck crane thats been at Sinpo forever, and ground images from North Korea SLBM tests

Little Thread on North Korea's recent construction activity at the Sinpo South Naval Shipyard Late July this year - North Korean state media released images of KJU inspecting the construction of a new SLBM capable submarine in a construction hall at Sinpo. @38NorthNK has been writing on this for a while and @BeyondCSISKorea recently join the great sub-hunt this year

On Trump's statement after meeting with KJU: the North offered to destroy a major missile engine test site. But the question now is which one? Here are our options 1. Sohae (39.652837, 124.713995) North Korea tests most of its liquid fuel engine here - it is the largest engine test stand in the country and is located at North Korea's main satellite launch facility.
