Indeed they can't, the only question is how much senseless slaughter they're willing to inflict before they admit it. The Ukraninians are extremely motivated and they'll have an unlimited flow of advanced weapons and local support. What does it mean for a town to "fall"? All someone has to do is smuggle in a Javelin within 1 mile of an armoured vehicle and destroy it. Parking your APC in the middle of a town after you've "captured" it isn't going to make the Russians safe.

If thats the state of a 15 million dollar piece of equipment, what's everything else like?
