由于军事技术过时和现代化缓慢,英国前特种部队指挥官三至五年内警告战争即将到来。 UK ex-Special Forces commander warns war looms in 3–5 years due to outdated military tech and slow modernization.

前特种部队指挥官和联合王国议员Al Carns警告说,联合王国可能在三至五年内面临战争,而且没有准备,理由是军事装备过时,现代化缓慢,对高技术冲突的准备不足。 Former Special Forces commander and UK MP Al Carns has warned the UK could face war within three to five years and is unprepared, citing outdated military equipment, slow modernization, and inadequate readiness for high-tech conflicts. 卡恩斯利用他在乌克兰的前线经验和观察,强调无人机现在造成前线87%的伤亡,每发具有22发炮弹的破坏力,敦促更快地采用AI和自主系统。 Drawing on his frontline experience and observations from Ukraine, Carns emphasized that drones now cause 87% of frontline casualties and are as destructive as 22 artillery rounds each, urging faster adoption of AI and autonomous systems. 他呼吁加快国防开支,加快采购速度,加强与乌克兰创新者的伙伴关系,以弥合能力差距。 He called for accelerated defence spending, faster procurement, and stronger partnerships with Ukrainian innovators to close capability gaps. 专家也对此表示关切,并警告说,拖延重新武装可能会损害联合王国在北约组织中的作用,使其易受迅速变化的威胁。 Experts echo his concerns, warning that delays in rearmament could undermine the UK’s role in NATO and leave it vulnerable to rapidly evolving threats.
