War is won with firepower. Tank is one means of firepower. The US did not win their many wars with tanks, tanks were used, though firepower was the means to achieve the objectives.
Bombs, Smartbombs, dumb bombs, missiles, rockets, field artillery, mortar, drone. These wipe out the enemy so tanks meet little resistance. So IFVs meet little resistance.
When you are prepared for the mother of all battles vs land forces and you are destroyed with air power, you are the Iraqi army.
It is the actions that happen before the tanks roll in that are king of the battlefield for US wars.
Russia OTOH have superior numbers in artillery, yet don't have the precision that the US had. If Russia has the precision in the next war, it would decimate Europe.
Mortar and field artillery is the best investment. If the enemy are not significantly softened up, your tanks are sitting/moving targets.
*in donbas.
That is why we don't care, if Ukraine sues for peace, Putin is going to demand the entire donbas region. It is likely lost if Ukraine loses. So fight on and fight another day.
Donbas was a bloodbath for the vatniks.
