More on that Bogus BM-25 Pic

Last week, I wrote that Space Daily tried to pass off
a picture of a Russian missile as the “BM-25” which may or may not be North Korea’s newest IRBM.

Anatoly Zak writes in to confirm that he took the picture of the SS-N-6 at the NIIKhimmash facility in Sergiev Posad and that Space Daily “used [it] without my permission.”

I think maybe some of us should write Simon Mansfield, publisher of SpaceDaily.com, to tell him that is not cool.

His address is simon [AT] gerroa.com

Update: Spacewar changed the image.
