Does anyone know the comparative loss rates for the Atlantique vs P3?

'Not many' versus 'Not many', but neither have had to do combat AFAIK.

Pakistan lost one Atlantic (Atlantique?) to the Indian Air Force in 1999.

I'd still be more concerned about operational loss rates, and losing half of
your engines at low altitude woudl seem to be worrisome. But low-level ops
are less common than they used to be, I understand. Also, Boeing has shown
off the ability of a similar 737 BBJ to climb from sea level on one engine
(I think this was at MMA patrol weights), so an engine failure need not be
catastrophic even down low.
