Uncovering Deception in North Korea's Monster Missile Video

This chapter discusses the analysis conducted by Jeffrey Lewis and his team on footage of missile launches by North Korea. They discovered that Kim Jong Un had attempted to launch a large missile, but it failed. They then launched a different missile that was successful and filmed it. The North Koreans mixed footage of the failed launch with the successful launch to create the illusion that the monster missile had worked. Jeffrey and his team were able to uncover this deception through careful analysis of the imagery. The chapter also highlights the democratization of satellite imagery analysis and its impact on monitoring dictators like Kim Jong Un.
