A British defense minister warned that the British Army could be depleted in "six months to a year" during a major conflict, similar to the war in Ukraine. Veterans' Minister Alistair Carns highlighted the current size of the army and the high casualty rates, noting that around 1,500 Russian soldiers are lost daily in Ukraine. Carns emphasized the need for a strong reserve force, stating that reservists are "critical" for sustaining military operations in such scenarios.
