Today's Caiying: Two protesters entered an airbase and spray-painted the military aircraft engine, with no one noticing it throughout the process.
On the 20th, pro-Palestinian supporters released a first-person video online: two pro-Palestinian activists secretly entered Britain's largest airbase, Brize Norton, at night. They walked to the A330MRTT military refueling aircraft and used modified fire extinguishers they carried to spray red paint graffiti on the aircraft engine. Subsequently, they took out pry bars and struck the engine hard, causing some damage to it. Finally, they successfully withdrew without being noticed by anyone.
The person who released the video claimed that these activists had made the plane "non-operational." The UK Ministry of Defense strongly condemned this behavior and stated that they were closely cooperating with the police to find the perpetrators.
Moreover, the lax security at British airbases has been mocked by many people. Some netizens commented that if the British army cannot even defend their own base, then going to provoke China in the Taiwan Strait is truly overestimating their capabilities. Other netizens brought up the incident where two British soldiers engaged in inappropriate behavior in an Apache helicopter after drinking alcohol, mocking the British soldiers for not focusing on serious matters. Many also lamented that they once mocked the Russians for not paying attention to the security of military bases, but the British were even more exaggerated, far worse than the Russians.
