You may have a point but you'd think Russia would have learned from the First Battle of Grozny (1994-1995) that tanks are hopeless in built-up areas:
"Initially, the Russians were surprised, and their armored columns—intended to take the city without difficulty—were devastated in fighting reminiscent of the Battle of Budapest in late 1944. As a short-term measure, the Russians deployed self-propelled anti-aircraft guns (ZSU-23-4 and 9K22 Tunguska) to engage the Chechen combat groups because the main gun of the tanks could not elevate or decline enough to engage the fire teams, and the armored vehicle's machine gun could not suppress the fire of several fire teams simultaneously."
