Far-Left Radicals Attack F-35 Stealth Jet's UK Supply Chain

Far-Left Radicals Attack F-35 Stealth Jet's UK Supply Chain

Far-left activists targeted a critical supply chain node supporting the F-35 stealth fighter jet program, an attack that directly undermines Western national security interests and raises questions about whether foreign adversaries provided material support.

Stu Smith, an investigative analyst and researcher focused on extremism, influence networks, and transnational political activism at the Manhattan Institute, posted a video on X showing that, in the early hours of the new year, a group of radical leftists broke into Bruntons Aero Products in Musselburgh, Scotland, and went on a smashing spree.

The aerospace manufacturer produces precision parts and assemblies that become components in larger systems (such as electronic-warfare or survivability systems produced by Leonardo and others) that are integrated into the stealth jet through OEM supply chains.

"So this wasn't "property damage" in the abstract. They're bragging about sabotaging a link in the supply chain for aircraft self-protection systems — the kind of tech meant to help jets like the F-35 survive radar-guided missile threats," Smith said, adding, "It's sabotage in pursuit of a political cause and that's exactly what terrorism is."
