Why argueing? Tanks are not that important now as they were 65 years ago. Aircrafts rule! The one who owns the air has 50% of victory in his pocket. The end of WWII showed this very clearly when carpet bombings made it almost impossible for Germany to wage war.
If everything could be done from the air then I'm quite sure the powers that be would do things that way.
Unfortunately aircraft cannot move onto and consolodate a strategic position. This is why we still have tanks and mechanized infantry.
