Compared to the 4,000 tanks russia has lost in Ukraine, 219 is barely a rounding error.

Not correct. It's just over 5%. I do see your point, and generally agree, but when you exaggerate, you run the risk of destroying your argument.

The current Oryx number is 3558 destroyed and captured, which I casually rounded to 4,000.

The clear implication at the top of the thread was that the UK had zero tanks. 219 may be inadequate but it is not none.
