I'd imagine not till late spring/summer when more of the heavy equipment arrives. Defensive ops can be done with just smart ops, and a lot of ambushes while offensives require lots of heavy weapons to take out entrenched positions. It might take up to a month refurb a hundred tanks from storage, and another month to move them all. We just had the promise of heavy weapons less than a month ago.
Luckily with lend/lease and US airlift the transport times should get cut down a lot.
