Tanks were really vulnerable in Syria against Kornet-like [1] weapons, I think only the Russians providing T-90s to the Syrian Army helped made things a little better for them, but by that point the Government-supported army had already lost dozens (probably more than 100 even) of tanks. Also judging by what happened in Syria, tanks are not that efficient in densily built urban environments. The Syrian Army tanks had almost free reign in the Damascus neighborhood called Jobar but with not that much showing for it. Similar thing happened in East Aleppo, but at a smaller scale. What helped tip the balance in favor of Assad’s army were the Russian air bombardments (a quick search for “Syria cluster bombs” will help clear things up).
