North Korea airs new missile launch with Kim Jong-un as star of action-movie style footage

North Korea's state-run television KRT aired on Friday its leader Kim Jong-un supervising the launch of a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Thursday in heavily-produced action movie-style footage.

Wearing a black leather jacket and aviator shades, Kim Jong-un was the apparent star of the video which featured flashy effects, a climactic soundtrack and edits to the movie "Top Gun."

Thursday's launch was the first full ICBM test by nuclear-armed North Korea since 2017 and flight data indicated the missile flew higher and longer than any of North Korea's previous tests, before crashing into the sea west of Japan.

Kim said the test was designed to demonstrate the might of its nuclear force and deter any U.S. military moves.
