I have read elsewhere that unseasonably warm temperatures (above zero ) mean that the ground is unexpectedly boggy and thus most vehicles are confined to roads. The Ukrainians seem to have done a good job of demolishing key bridges, and the Russians' logistic ineptitude means they are taking forever to get bridging equipment into place. So there is a massive traffic jam in the North waiting for river crossings to be established further south.

I doubt many current A-10 and Apache pilots are looking at those images and salivating. They are probably thinking "only if someone takes out the Buks and S400s a few miles away over the border, not to mention the embedded Tor units." As should be obvious, that simply isn't going to happen.
