Palestine ‘Activists’ Break Into Secure Airfield, Sabotage Royal Air Force Jets

Two RAF logistics jets were damaged at one of Britain’s most theoretically secure airfields overnight into Friday by Palestinian Action activists who were able to escape undetected.

Leftist direct action group Palestinian Action, which has been engaged in a campaign of violent sabotage of Israel-linked supply chains since the October 7th attacks, has claimed responsibility for a strike against the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force overnight. Two activists were able to infiltrate RAF Brize Norton, cause damage with paint-filled fire extinguishers and crowbars, paint a symbol on the runway and hang a Palestinian flag before leaving the area, all without being caught.

The air base is a legally protected place in British law and is heavily guarded, leaving serious questions asked about the state of its defence given two activists on e-scooters were able to cause damage undetected. The Commanding Officer of RAF Brize Norton, Group Captain Louise Henton OBE, a career “personnel and administrative officer” deactivated her X account on Friday morning after news of the infiltration became public.

In 1978 overseas, I was friends with a couple of RAF Surveyors.   In a casual conversation we talked about secure facilities.   They were not even supposed to acknowledge they were on our base with their mission of investigating Soviet satellite signals.   John pointed out that they had a different protocol about security.   He said that they are not as inclined to protecting secure material, but they made sure they apprehended someone attempting to steal classified material.

So much with that.   I always thought that was a little hairbrained.

"You've ... you've got a nice air force base here, Colonel."

[dforest]

So do I. They breed a lot once they are in your country. That said, the place is full of muslims and the brits are going to be ruled by them.

How stylish.

My battery (Chaparral/Vulcan) was about 5 miles from a Nike-Hercules battery. Whenever they had a Nuclear Surety Inspection, I was tangentially involved as a reserve force commander. The outbriefings were always attended by the chain of command, but including the Deputy CG of 32nd AADCOM. Should that battery fail its inspection, the General was there to relieve the entire chain of command, to include the Battalion and Group Commanders.

The pucker factor was pervasive. Several fond memories of the 6 NSIs I was involved with. I’m proudest of the fact we never had a live round discharged or incurred any injuries while performing our mission. My soldiers performed exceptionally well, considering the lack of infantry training they received. My guys were Air Defenders, not infantry.

Military commanders are always grinning in their photos. They used to look serious or almost grim. Look at photos of general Lemay, admirals Halsey, Nimitz, or King. Look at Arthur Harris and Hugh Dowding.

Now we get these people grinning like they are simple minded.

“The air base is a legally protected place in British law and is heavily guarded,”
Ha ha, that’s the Brits for you.

[Seruzawa]

I think we can conclude that it isn’t heavily guarded in reality.

[Churchillspirit]

Hmm....wonder how many flying hours she has.

[jocon307]

Yeah, maybe. Rape our girls, that’s OK, but mess with our plane? That could be a problem.
