2×4,

The ground is too rugged for accurate missile strikes. On the things that we don’t know is the condition of the Georgian air defenses. They punished the Russians badly in the first couple of days of this war. If they have regrouped and redeployed they could make air strikes too expensive.
In any case, it’s a narrow corridor and their armor would be very vulnerable.
