UK defence and law enforcement agencies have been alerted to potential sabotage attempts on multiple Royal Air Force facilities, following reports that the protest group Palestine Action is preparing further incursions.
According to The Daily Sceptic, Telegraph journalists infiltrated a recent online planning meeting in which members allegedly discussed forming autonomous cells to conduct covert actions against defence contractors and military sites.
The discussion reportedly focused on targets including RAF Cranwell and RAF Barkston Heath—two airfields actively involved in the training of Ukrainian pilots on Western fighter aircraft such as the F-16 and Mirage 2000. The same session came days after Palestine Action claimed responsibility for an illegal break-in at RAF Brize Norton, where red paint was sprayed over two Voyager aircraft. That incident is now the subject of a counter-terrorism investigation and prompted a full security review across the defence estate.
While not yet proscribed, the group is widely expected to be designated a terrorist organisation by the Home Secretary. In Parliament, Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard described the Brize Norton attack as “epically stupid” and “a direct attack on our national security.” He added that Palestine Action’s recent activities “meet the threshold set out in the statutory tests established under the Terrorism Act 2000.”
Prominent defence commentators and open-source intelligence accounts have amplified the latest claims. One post from @Osinttechnical highlighted that RAF Cranwell and Barkston Heath—both key to the UK’s pilot training pipeline for Ukraine—had been discussed as targets. Another widely shared post warned of a “wave of attacks on RAF bases across the United Kingdom.”
The Ministry of Defence has not commented directly on the alleged meeting but has confirmed that security has been tightened at multiple sites. Senior officials remain concerned about the growing boldness of direct action tactics against military infrastructure, particularly given the role of UK bases in training and logistics linked to overseas operations.
Effective anti-drone systems are needed desperately, as this could be the weapon of choice. The plane watchers will be livid as viewpoints get roped off and perimeter policing stepped up. Remember the RAF regiments and their Scimitar light tanks, so what has happened to downgraded protection? I guess a lack of money?
A whole array of different measures are required. Anti-drone is merely the latest to be added. Oh and we need them now they won’t wait forever.
The simplest anti-drone measure is to slot the tosser operating it and anyone in close proximity; that does require covert patrolling – chance for the RAFR to refresh their skills and do what they are paid to do.
For the hard of thinking they don’t have the level of sophistication that the UKR have; just shoot them on the spot and save on trials and imprisonment costs.
Make use of those spotters.
They are invariably pro armed forces and a tight group.
I used to be one and well remember a day at Manchester airport when an El Al flight was berthed close to the favourite spotting site on the multi story car park. A small crowd of spotters were out but prevented from standing in the closest corner of the roof to the aircraft by a wpc.
There were few objections but people began to grow suspicious of one of our number. He was saying the right things but not acting normal – too excited by mundane aircraft. After the flight departed we spotted him chatting to the wpc. No doubt local SB checking us out, but he stood out a mile to us.
Those groups often know each other and will chat freely to any strangers who show up. Offer them the means to raise any suspicions with base security; use their eyes, ears and intuition.
Palestinian Action targeting bases used to Train Ukrainian Pilots can someone please tell what the hell they have in common other than getting bombed ?
If this is true then we know exactly what this group really is, it’s a pro Putin anti west bunch of terrorists, they may not be using bombs but that’s the only thing that makes any sense.
It’s mostly because the old communists never quite got over the fall of the USSR, which supported Palestine back in the cold war, and now have transposed a lot of their USSR beliefs onto Putin’s Russia, even though Russia and the USSR have very little in common.
the soviets were behind all those nutty anti nuclear groups in the 80s. they’re doing the same thing today. stop oil etc are also controlled by them- all to cause havoc and cost money. saboteurs need to be shot on sight and the government needs to announce immediately that they will begin shooting these idiots if caught on a military base. they’ll stop.
We’ve bred treasonous ingrates. These Henry’s and Henrietta’s are Hamas’s useful idiots
It’s clear that anyone partaking in sabotage should be shot on site.
A whole array of different measures are required. Anti-drone is merely the latest to be added. Oh and we need them now they won’t wait forever.
This isn’t a serious country anymore.
Each week we see Jew hating foreign nationals protest on our streets, last week one wearing a concentration camp outfit complete with red Hamas star.
None will be deported as the lawfare legal system with allow HRA appeals.
Police , NCA and GCHQ should be able to ID these members even if they use VPN or other methods to conceal themselves.
Mass arrests on conspiracy charges are needed and additional court sessions as used last summer for the riots.
Escalation upto Lethal force should be authorised against anyone stepping over a perimeter of a military airfield.
We can’t go on being a laughing stock.
I’m not an Israeli hater, but, I’m not an ultra Jew fan. What the Israeli State run by Zionists and get out of jail free Benji are doing is committing genocide, it is abhorrent in the extreme.
Bear in mind that there are Palestinians Christians in there suffering the same treatment.
No, the Zionist State needs to be called out and there should be no aid civilian or military, no purchases allowed to that State be they civilian or military until it changes direction.
The IDF gave notice to which suburbs were going to be targeted. The fact Hamas chooses to sit amongst civilians in those areas is why there are casualties..
The same Hamas who said they want to repeat 7/10 again and again.
The same Hamas who spent tens of billions in aid on weapons..
The same Gaza where people visited on holiday.
If an enemy wanted to exterminate me, I would kill.yhat enemy..
The Hamas leadership are safely tucked up in Qatar..They could end it in a day by stating they would cease all hostility to Israel..
The Hamas figures on casualties are not feasible. The propaganda output is laughable..
If the IDF wanted.to wipe out every Palestinian it could, the fact is has not shows this is no genocide.
Hope the buggers in charge are seriously manning those fences! Time for a “security audit” across all bases and ports?
