What did they actually do? I see they threw paint, but was it in the can and then it collapsed the roof? Did they cut the roof away? I’m not sure of the logistics here.
They sprayed paint into the clean room, contaminating tools and equipment that are required to make materials and components that require zero contamination. They will likely have to replace alot of specialized equipment, and that can take a ridiculous amount of time.
They might have thought they contaminated a clean room, but that certainly did not seem to be constructed like one. Teledyne makes a lot of electronic parts for a lot of different airframes in a lot of locations… It’s unlikely this vandalism did anything substantial.
Looks like a concrete floor there, which would generate dust, therefore this just can’t be a clean room by definition. If so they’ll probably just have to clean up the paint and maybe replace a few things and get on with it.
The second action in the video, looks like putting expanding foam into the air filtration system, is much, much more damaging. That’s building infrastructure that will have to be torn out and rebuilt, which will shut down production for ages. A lot of people are going to be a lot of angry about this, and these two on camera are going to be hunted down and prosecuted.
I don’t think shutting down production of warplanes that are already in service will do much to be honest. It won’t slow momentum of Israel’s genocide one iota. You could devastate the population of Gaza with WWII era planes, since they’re basically at this point just starving to death without electricity. So no need for F35s. I get that it’s a strong form of direct action but the actual effect it will have is minimal, and balanced with the risk to the protesters, it’s pretty low on the reward/risk scale.
I think these two are morally in the right, but need to think more about how they can be effective.
It’s not effective (as courageous as it may be) because it will not reduce the death toll in Gaza. The planes already in service, plus the infinite planes on standby will continue to destroy helpless civilians regardless.
This particular group has put multiple factories out of service? Do you have a source for that?
Lol no. Just because I’m able to point out the flaws in this action didn’t mean I should have all the answers for you. I still have the right to criticise even if I don’t present a nonexistent perfect strategy.
Your source does not verify your claim. It says one factory, and you said multiple.

That was most definitely not a clean room, but the spraying of foam into that exhaust might have done it

So what do you suggest? This group has put multiple Elbit factory out of action so as a collective effort this is effective.

Ansewr the question please, what should be done?
