A video of a North Korean anti-air missile shooting down a mock U.S. fighter jet screened on the hermit state’s propaganda website on Sunday.

Uploaded on to “Uriminzokkiri TV,” North Korea’s main propaganda website, the approximately two-minute video titled “Heed our warning” displays a B-1 Lancer bomber in a white crosshair.

“Taking down your fighter jet is easier than swatting a fly on a wall,” says the caption before an anti-air missile is shown shooting down the plane.

“Heed our warning. Repent and repent again.”

The video ends with an outdated U.S. fighter jet and flag burning on the ground and an outlandish claim that North Korea shot down more than 12,224 U.S fighter jets during the Korean War (1950-53).
