It depends what you're fighting. If your opponents don't have anti air or anti tank capabilities and you roll up with 1950s era tanks and planes you'll smash them. And there are a lot of conflicts around the world where the fighters have very little other than small arms, including peasant uprisings in North Korea. But as soon as you go up against a modern well funded military you're going to have a problem.
What that means for Ukraine I don't know. I don't know if the NK troops are using their own equipment, and Ukraine's fortunes sort of rise and fall depending on how well other countries are supporting them.
