What does it matter where individual countries run their military tests and whatever? Wherever it is, it should be on their home soil, IMO. Two wrongs don't make a right, to be overly cliched.

Well, both Germany and Singapore use the Melrose bombing range a few miles up the road. I presume that bombing an island is necessary to simulating a combat mission flown from an aircraft carrier. You'd need to refuel several times to fly off a carrier and hit Melrose. I'm not certain, but except for Hawaii and the Aleutians, the U.S. doesn't have many islands of any size, at least not conveniently unpopulated and located adjacent to civilization (i.e. logistical and recreational support).

Well, the Royal Navy and/or Royal Air Forces.

And don't say Briatin lacks armed forces. (The UK must be in the top five best-armed countries of the world, not counting nuclear weapons.)
