YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The entire British Army would be exhausted in "six months to a year" in a major war, a defence minister has claimed.

Al Carns, the veterans minister, said the Ukraine war had shown the importance of having high numbers of reservists to bolster a full-time professional army.

Russia is currently absorbing the deaths or injuries of around 1,500 soldiers a day.
