Britain’s Shrinking Military – From Cold War Colossus to Cash-Strapped Shadow

Drastic Reduction in the size of Britain’s Armed Forces

War with Russia is often spoken of in 2023, but the drastic reduction in the size of Britain’s armed forces is often overlooked. Here, I compare the sizes of Britain’s military in 1991, when it was specifically trained and deployed to resist a Soviet assault into Western Europe, and 2023. The figures are fairly shocking, something the US government recently noted as well.
