The ongoing battle in Ukraine has highlighted a staggering human cost. The Russian military, seemingly devoid of compassion for its own troops and allied forces, has reportedly been facing catastrophic losses, grinding through tens of thousands of troops each month. The situation has prompted dire predictions regarding the potential loss of Britain’s own military. Alistair James, the UK Defence Minister, noted that if Britain were forced to engage in a conflict analogous to that in Ukraine, the standing Army could be entirely decimated in approximately six months due to attrition rates similar to those witnessed on the Eastern European front.
