The Ukraine Government's problem, isn't a lack of weapons, it's anything but.

Agreed Jay. Ukraine is now flooded with weapons .... the arms that the West will bring in will be slightly more accurate and far more lethal than what is available .... and once those weapons start to come in, Russia will only match it or surpass it.

Then I hope to see the anti Kiev militia rolling in with t90s and terminator IFVs. It's already clear that Kiev and the West do not want to stop the war. Also I have seen somewhere a news about the militia carrying out their first airstrike with a captured su25 against Kiev military. Is that true?

I have read those reports Johnny Mafra .... but I am skeptical. No pictures and no videos .... it is hard to believe that the rebels could have such a plane in their arsenal.
