The deployment of more helicopters to Afghanistan would save soldiers' lives, the Chief of the Defence Staff, Sir Jock Stirrup, has said.
Following criticism of the government for failing to give troops air support, Sir Jock said more helicopters would "quite patently" prevent casualties.
The government insists that the military has never been so well resourced as it is at present.
Meanwhile, the 185th British death of the conflict has been confirmed.
