North Korea caught photoshopping again
The North Koreans discovered that launching their missiles from submarines is tougher than they thought it would be, so they decided to photoshop their launch tests instead of actually launching missiles, according to Reuters;
[German aerospace engineers Markus Schiller and Robert Schmucker of Schmucker Technologie] 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.
North Korea, which regularly threatens to destroy the United States, had a record of offering faked proof to claim advances in missile technology, Schiller and Schmucker said, such as poorly built mockups of missiles on display at military parades in 2012 and 2013.
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.
I guess that NDtBF is taking lessons from the Dutch Rudder Club trying to terrorize the United States with altered photos. I suppose next he’ll have an Icelandic-hosted website with fake commenters weighing in.

I don’t know what the problem is, we’ve been launching missiles out of submarines for more than 50 years. Pressurize the tube, open the door, blow the missile out, compensate for the increased weight of the seawater filled tube, engines ignite and missile away. What could go wrong?
Well, Bobo – since you asked . . . .
(smile)
And if that wasn’t enough (longish):
“Rocket science” is a bit of a misnomer – it’s actually mostly engineering. But it ain’t exactly easy to get it right the first time. (smile)
I was actually on site for 2 failures in the late ’90’s. A smaller Delta II and a massive Titan IV.
That reminded me of this montage from a pretty good movie: October Sky

So Fatty Kim da T’ird (FKDT) is ‘shopping his stuff again! Say it ain’t so!!
Do you think he’ll use howitzers on the guys who screwedup the Photoshop jobs?
In response the North Korean said, “lo foo wee chung de … ah so”.
AAAAW, what’s a little photoshopping matter when you’re a pudgy needle-dicked bug-fucking tyrant dictator of a third world hellhole? Ooohh fat ‘lil Kim-boy, are you gonna kiwr arr of us for making fun of you?
Don’t we have a few turds on here that are expert Photo shoppers ????
TAH seems to have featured some individuals that may have a passing acquaintance with Photoshop. However, based on the quality of the apparently altered photos I’m not sure I’d exactly call them “experts”.
Bhwhahaha ! ! ! !
LMAO !!!!!
I needed a good laugh this morning thank you TAH !!!!!!
saw one of the articles in which the Norks claimed success because the missile achieved an altitude of something like 50 meters. Anything within range of a stinkin’ shotgun is not exactly a tactical success.
We’re talking about a fleabag dictatorship whose last leader claimed to have made eighteen holes in one the first time he ever aged golf.
You would think that With all the ( failed ) photoshop experience between the NORK’s & Iran, they would be able to collaborate and put a man on the moon or slim down Kim Jong to at least a 38 waistline.
I heard that puffy little Kim Jong Un loves cheese as well. Rumor also has it that he’s a diabetic as well, I wonder if he’ll even live to see age 35?
Folks, tell me…what, exactly, is up with that little schizophrenic ‘nation’ north of the DMZ and south of China?
How long will this freakshow last?
Does anyone take the Democratic People’s Republic of Batshit Insane seriously?
How long will it be before this little bugfuck nutty nation derps itself to death?
:headdesk:
Reuters would know about fake news stories with photoshop……
I wonder if they photoshop rice on the plates of all their starving kids.
One day when Kim Jong-un figures out he can’t out muscle us, I expect him to try growing an army of female clones and to try attacking us will wave after wave of naked clones. You have to admit, you did not see that coming!
