and while devastating to the civilian population, they are not that effective against a gorilla resistance force.

You need soldiers that will fight block by block in the cities... backed up by tanks and armor.

As for why the convoy is stuck... the russians waited too long to invade... the fields are thawing out and turning to mud. Add in a supply problem of getting fuel to the tanks and armor at the front of the column... you end up with a parking lot on the highway. Too bad the Ukrainians ran low on anti-tank missiles, otherwise I think we would see 40 miles of bombed out russian armor right now.
