Pro-Palestine activists say they breached RAF Brize Norton on 20 June and damaged two military aircraft.
Footage shared by Palestine Action shows two protesters spraying red paint into turbine engines with repurposed fire extinguishers and using crowbars for further damage.
The group said their reason for targeting the base was its role in flights to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, which they claim support operations in Gaza.
Palestine Action reported that the two activists "escaped undetected" after the incident. RAF Brize Norton has been contacted for comment.
