(3/n) This time, the trajectory on KJU's map reasonably fits that of western Mil sources (3615 km close enough to "~3700 km")

(4/n) with the 29 Aug test, that was not the case (map shows 3316 km trajectory, missile flew 2700 km according western Mil sources)

(5/n) In terms of range (not direction), 29 Aug map trajectory is almost exactly 100 km short of range to Henderson AFB on Guam, ~3415 km

(6/n) In terms of range (not direction), 14 Sep map trajectory is almost exactly 200 km overshoot of range to Henderson AFB on Guam

(7/n) I go back and forth on whether that is meaningful or not. But I do think these maps are a propaganda message of some sort.

(8/n) The red dotted line I plotted on the 14 Sep map, coinciding with the actual drawn line on map, is an STK modelled ballistic trajectory

(9/n) I also added yellow country outlines to show that the georeference matches. Also compare with sea mountains on second map

(10/n) Modelled position of apogee matches a red text on the map. So what is depicted appears a real ballistic trajectory

(11/n) reasonable match between 14 Sep map traject & range reported by western Mil sources, unlike 29 Aug, does suggest 29 Aug went wrong

(12/n) Now, million-dollar-question: will there be future test to exactly 3415 km as well? And what impact location compared to previous 2?

(14/n) Also: do you notice I like to make maps...? :-p

(15/n) for the other map freaks like me: the map projection I used is a Lambert azimuthal equal area, centered on Sunan.
