Russian Emergency Landing
They risk losing two almost good engines, the main financial value left of that aircraft.
Yes. A simple strip of 1000m should be more than enough. Wait for a good headwind, empty the airplane completely, and target a higher pitch from 90-100kt (soft field takeoff technique).

Ural said the plane would stay in the field for several months, under guard, while inspections, maintenance and repairs are carried out.

And it finally has succumbed to being a belated Christmas Tree, Ural Airlines have decided to scrap her.
A Russian aviation Telegram channel, said that after a thorough evaluation has been completed, the decision has been made to dismantle the plane for parts and not attempt to fly the Airbus A320 out of the field as was previously proposed.
Aerotime revealed that Ural Airlines pays farmer year’s rent for wheat field holding the stranded Airbus until spring 2024.
The Ural Airlines plane remains in the field just outside Novosibirsk, in southern Siberia, protected by 24-hour private security in a fenced off area.
According to the region’s head, Ural Airlines entered into a lease agreement with the field’s owner to rent the field where the stranded jet lies for a year, and this could yet be extended for longer.
