I don’t think the Russians will have much difficulty with Georgia.

Not stable output same problem like now, on larger scale it would be even worse.

I’m not sure how useful these will be in the way Ukraine will employ them.
I imagine they will try to use them in a way that will lead to their destruction via ATGM/RPG.
Georgia? How? They only managed to do 2008 because they were staging for months in plain sight using their "peacekeeper" status.
Otherwise, it's physically impossible for armour to cross Caucasus fast enough to make a bridgehead. Russians threw the towel in 2008 when their main supply line going through the only passable mountain pass was about to be cut off.
Third, the spring weather

I meant much difficult compared to what they are facing in Ukraine. Do you think it would be harder?

These look like upgraded Strykers with 30mm cannons

Much harder with what they have now.
Georgia will just pound the only road passing the Caucasus, and blow up the tunnels.
Then, they will only have to hold 2-3 chokepoints
Russia can only spare 2 armies at most to send there, and their departure will be for everybody to see.
For as long as Azebaijian is hostile to Russia, they are safe.
Even nukes are of little use in the mountains. Mountain valleys lens the shockwave inside, and whomever is there is doubly screwed, but forces just across the ridge take zero damage.
Similarly, Russian plan to reach Blakans is equally lunatical. To reach their Balkan allies, they will need to pass Bulgaria, and Romania.
Romania is a NATO member, with quite a number of NATO brigades on its territory already, and some minimal military of its own.
If Russia will want to capture Romania itself, they will have to capture Bucharest (1.8m people, concrete construction, subway network.) And even if they somehow manage to beat their regulars there, the rest of Romanian force will run into mountains, and then Russians will be screwed.
Even if they will decide to pass Bucharest at significant distance, they can't bypass Sofia (Negotin route is too vulnerable to attacks from Carpathians, and from Bulgaria itself,) and invading Bulgaria always been a nightmare, ask Turks.
And if they will want to invade Poland, well, half of NATO is already there...
Plainly, and simply Russia can't even dream of invading Europe, and whether they have a "smart trick plan" to enter Europe through the Baklan backdoor, passing around strongest Western forces doesn't change the fact that it will eventually have to face them anyways if he will want to go further. NATO will not just stand letting Putin have South Europe while knowing that it's a bridgehead.
It's a sick fantasy, and not a military plan.
