Sounds like bad planning.
Perhaps the reality.
British military has 500 horses and 330 tanks.
By the armor depletion rate Kiev junta experienced in the east, 330 tanks could be destroyed within a month in a low intensity conflict or in no time in a conflict with a formidable opponent.
Tanks without mechanized infantry to protect them on the battlefield are worthless.
