Ukrainian forces could hardly win the war unless US & Nato supply new advanced IFV with trophy system, AH-1z viper, small arms, etc. The Russia backed separatists are actually more well armed and equipped.Reports are coming in that state that pro-Russian separatists have broken through the defensive lines and has penetrated into the center of Debaltsevo city.

The Ukrainian air force fighters are in bad shape, lack of parts and poorly maintained. The ground forces, the tanks are already old and obsolete. Bmp2 has thin armor and badly cramped inside with poor visual & fire control system. Their T72, T80 lacks ERA and couldn't survive rpg29 and kornet anti~tank missiles.
