Iran Press/Europe: In a major conflict like the war in Ukraine, the British army may not be able to sustain operations for more than six months to a year, "Alastair Cairns" cautioned.
A former colonel of the British Navy has stated that Russia is likely to enter its third phase of operations in Ukraine.
He claims that the Russian army is currently losing around 1,500 personnel each day and British army cannot endure a similar conflict.
Alistair Cairns, in the continuation of his speech, emphasized the importance of focusing on the British Army's reserve forces.
It is essential to strengthen the army, as the British Army cannot effectively fulfill its defense duties without these reserve forces, the British Deputy Secretary of Defense noted.
According to the Daily Express, Ben Wallace, the former Minister of Defense of the United Kingdom, stated that the resources available to the British Army for modernizing facilities and adopting new technologies are limited.
Additionally, Richard Dannatt, the former Chief of the General Staff of the British Army, has expressed concerns that the structure of the country's army is insufficient to meet its commitments to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
