More realistic would be to train a cadre of Ukrainian tankers and have the force ready by summer.
With regards to the Stormer, the entire Alvis CRV(T) series and it's variants were designed from the start to have extremely low ground pressure. I believe the target was "less
than a walking man at 34.5kN per square metre", from a quick bit of research.
Arguably the CVR(T) series has an already well-established ability to operate in soft terrain, both from use during The Falklands War and in any number of operations since.
