So big enough wavelengths won’t backscatter on small things like leaves.

We can see how the trees backscatter away the radar waves. They looks like very bright in the angle it was seen from, and the oposite direction there is shadows.
Ground mapping also would mean an actual fix to the Su-24M radar and the Tornado IDS radar.
The Su-24M never had a stationary ground target indicator as it has in game, and the Tornado has only a naval targetting mode and ACM. Those two would greatly benefit from this as the Su-24 was the first all-weather round o’clock bomber the USSR had and the Tornado would have an actual usable radar instead of the gimmick of a radar it has now.
The MiG-29SMT Zhuk-ME also has ground mapping capabilities, from the rosoboronexport catalogue
