Ukrainian losses in armor vehicles from May 2nd 2014 till today. They lost 607 tanks, 323 BMPs, 202 BMDs and 525 BTRs. In total 1657 armor vehicles.
If these figures are accurate and add that to vehicles that have been captured, the Ukrainian army is well and truely stuffed, they must be digging out many vehicles that are in reserves but this is going to cost them a lot of money to get them back on the road, and many of these vehicles will be very outdated. Also this isn't taking into numbers of aircraft lost and servicemen killed and wounded. Ukrainian army should really call it a day and sit down and make a deal.
Replacement equipment apparently on route.

Doesn't matter. All the rebels need to do are reach all 3 neighbouring oblast borders, and secure at least 90% of the Donbass's territory.
At that point Kiev will have its Fall of Saigon moment, even if the rebels then dig in and don't go futher. For Kiev would know that it had met with failure despite its massive manpower and equipment advantage, would have already expended all of its reserves and equipment, and the rebels would be poised to drive into the rest of the Ukraine's industrial heartland any time they might wish too. A collapse in army morale and in the population's confidence in the putschist government would be a near certainty. The ideology would ramp up a notch, so would the propaganda as the Ukraine goes through the fits and motions of Germany 1944-1945; but everyone would realise that the regime is living on borrowed time.
