Everyone said the tank was dead after the ATGM was first brought onto the battlefield.  Both sides in Ukraine still seem to want tanks in their inventory so they must think they are valuable for something.  To me, the main thing is that if you want your offensive to move at a pace that's quicker than the speed a man can walk, then you will need to have something to transport your infantry in.  If your infantry is riding in something, then there will be some incentive to have something that's more powerful than an IFV that you can either use against IFVs or to support an infantry assault.
We all know the old saying about your military preparing to fight the last war only to find out that it doesn't apply anymore, but at the same time I'm not certain how much of what's going on in Ukraine would be applicable to a US force in a peer to peer conflict.  Iran and Iraq fought for years and that was basically trench warfare - when the US fought Iraq the first time it looked nothing like Iran Iraq even though many military analysts thought it would.  How effective would drones be if the battlefield is fluid with mechanized forces advancing rapidly with an Airforce that has air supremacy?  I have to assume that the best military minds are working through the drone problem - if we assume that some sort of a technological or tactical counter can be created, then it seems like the tank is right back in business if you don't want your armies to advance at a walking pace.
I would assume that the Russian and Ukrainian armies operated in a similar way - at least when this whole thing started.  Perhaps that's a contributing factor in how things are playing out?
