North Korean submarine construction facility could not be confirmed from the sky, and work in the surroundings was activated September 24 12:30
North Korea is building a new submarine that can be equipped with SLBM = submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and the newly installed building will not be visible from the sky even if there are submarines underneath. From the analysis of satellite photographs, it was found that construction work is actively underway.
A shipyard in Simpo (Shinpo), eastern North Korea, confirmed the installation of a structure that covers the quay from last week's analysis of satellite photos. It is pointed out that this is a facility to hide the new submarine.
In this regard, Middlebury International Graduate School in the United States, which studies North Korea's nuclear issue, and Planet, which operates a satellite, have revealed to NHK the analysis of high-definition satellite photographs taken on the 23rd.
According to this, the new structure is projected over the sea from the quay and part of it is like a net, but even if there is a submarine underneath, it cannot be seen from the sky.
In addition, nearby crane cars and materials are also loaded, and you can see that construction work is actively underway.
“It's a structure that you can't see if there's a submarine under the roof. The net-like parts can be removed and work,” said Senior Researcher Schmaler at Middlebury International Graduate School. He says he needs more monitoring.
