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.
