I don't think so. King Pyrrhus knew all the preceding doctrines
about combined arms by heart (and he was thought to be one of the
great Successor generals of his time) yet he still took heavy
losses when fighting the Romans who had none of his advantages.
Loskalm's army is superbly equipped and is excellently trained.
It has the singular disadvantage of not having any battlefield
experience since the Ban fell and the further (shared) disadvantage
in that it has to fight the Kingdom of War really soon. If it
manages to survive the coming decade, then the Lunar Army will
consider the Loskalmi to be very formidable indeed.
What the Seshnegi lack in Loskalmi equipment and training, they
make up for with proven battlefield experience. I don't think
they would be easily defeated by the Lunar Army either.
