A man was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage to a United States Air Force aircraft at Shannon Airport in County Clare in Ireland on April 11.
Irish police confirmed that the man entered the “unauthorized area of Shannon Airport”. Video footage circulating on social media appeared to show the man clambering onto a C-130 military transport aircraft and striking a wing with an object.
A source with knowledge on the incident described the damage done to the American aircraft to The Journal as “extensive.”
Operations at Shannon were temporarily suspended during the incident, “which required gardai assistance,” according to a spokeswoman for the airport.
In an official statement, the police said: “An adult male, aged in his 40s, was arrested for alleged criminal damage by gardai shortly before 11am and is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 in a Garda Station in the Clare Tipperary Division.”
A brand new C-130 aircraft generally costs between $67 million and over $80 million. The one damaged at Shannon Airport is likely repairable.
The incident was linked to the American-Israeli war on Iran, as well as to a recent series of Israeli strikes on Lebanon that claimed the lives of more than 350 people, including dozens of children. However, there is still no evidence that the man damaged the aircraft as a form of protest.
Frustration has been growing within countries allied to the U.S., especially in Europe, over the recent escalation in the Middle East.
Last month, a Czech factory that produces drones and has ties to a major Israeli arms company was set on fire, with a shadowy anti-Israel group claiming responsibility.

“a man was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage to a united states air force aircraft at shannon airport in county clare in ireland on april 11.”
shannon o’bannon bullshit, drunk irish could care less. where me lucky charms?
say that to an irishman in ireland and he will rag you around like you was a doll.
fear bestill my heart….😂
fool, some of my dearest friends are irish, hence the joke. take a deep breath toughguy….
looking for his leprechaun or just lost in space.
people of county clare, buy this man a pint. this will also be a common site throughout the mainland of blighty very soon. the gov’t in blighty isn’t capable of doing the right thing for the people. most of our political system stopped listening to what the people want some time ago. starmer knows this and is why he always looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights.
as if they’re reading your pseudonyms. wakey wakey. get real.
great job irishman! no explosives, only tools. that works just fine. 🙂
hahaha hahaha what a joke one person vandalise a plane and you’re acting as icf its even significant. talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel of desperation and of course he’s just stirring the wef pot of war mongering for the elite. allegedly, their so called elitism. economic apartheid actually imo
‘however, there is still no evidence that the man damaged the aircraft as a form of protest.’. oh yes he did. reminds me of the time some nuns samshed the front of another us plane in shannon. feck knows what sentence they got. interesting to see how he is treated. he’s a hero to the vast, vast majority of irish people anyway.
what are you? the bureau of census and statistics or just a blarney stone full of it? rhetorical
give that man a guinness!
yes bowel cancer is an option
not a coincidence that ireland kicked the israel embassy off times ago.
love that man!! rare reactions by the common people against the zionazi criminal and pedophile regime of us and israel.
what an ¡dìòt. like trying to use a finger to prevent a burst in the three gorges dam.
that dam is the reason why the ccp will never ever invade the republic of china. many secret wunderwaffe are pointed at it. xi jinping and the communists have more to lose than to gain from any attempt at taking taiwan.
chinaladys boyz are easy.
what a crock of it. sad really actually pathetic to even consider that news worthy stll lwhen your desperately seeking attention.any old craps better than none i guess
americunt jizz swallower bob desperate for attention
yesterday ex-wife bob had her gonads crushed when several mulattos pumped jizz in her anuz
what is a us warplane doing in an irish airport. ireland is suppossed to be neutral!
they are getting kicked out of every other eu country for starting world war iii on behalf of a parasite and need landing strips that aren’t getting blown to shit, or that are logistically closer and are being asked to leave by “friendlies”. let me know if there is a way to get more of them to migrate to the united states to strengthen our gene pool… god bless the irish!
the irish government are us vassals
‘a shadowy anti pissrael group claiming responsibility. . . ‘
so 99.99% of planet earth’s people were in on it then ? plenty of shadows all round there.
