Hard to understand how on earth activity on UK bombing ranges could possibly be connected with OPSEC regarding Ukraine. The UK is not doing anything to support Ukraine in terms of any bombing capability, as apart from anything else we just don't have any aircraft that Ukraine could operate. There are certainly OPSEC concerns around place in the UK where we are providing training for Ukrainian forces, but that training seems to be solely related to ground forces and, perhaps, air defence systems they are being given. Neither are anything to do with the weapons ranges mentioned here, with the possible exception of Luce Bay, but even that stopped being used for HVM/Starstreak development a long time ago.
