A group named online as Palestinian Martyrs appear to have broken into the Moog Aircraft Group factory in Pendeford, Wolverhampton at 3:50am on Tuesday.
Dramatic footage shows a black four-wheel drive car smashing through two white barriers, before the activists set off red flares and climb a ladder onto the roof of a building.
The manufacturer was targeted because it builds parts for the F-35 fighter jets which the UK sells to Israel via a global pool, the group claimed. F-35 fighter jets have been used in Israel’s destructive bombing campaign in Gaza for nearly two years.
I welcome this act (the video was cool) but encourage them to go further. They had the roof pried up and were looking down into a workshop full of sensitive machinery and finished products. I’m sure I don’t need to get any more specific than that, I think most of us grew up practicing crude chemistry on occasion. Even just tossing down a little burning piece of garbage to activate the overhead sprinklers could have done a lot of damage.
Yeah it’s always a bit saddening when vandals stop before unleashing actual destruction on the facility.
Though I’m not going to criticize people risking prison sentence for not risking a far heavier prison sentence.
Yeah, ultimately they went and did something and I didn’t, but it’s still a very
feeling
