like the vast majority of an armored division in any 1950s army are 10ks of infantry + a few hundred tanks, yeah maybe your tanks survive but the nukes destroyed the supporting infantry and logistics like trucks/fuel depos/ammo dumps/command and control that keeps the tanks running so even if tanks keeps on fighting they run out of ammo/fuel in a day or soThe armor will not be incinerated or the cities. Their will be pockets of radiation and a lot of dying people, but they will bounce back, just like WW-II. Do you know what happened to the Prince Eugen after it was nuked....nothing , just radio active for some months.

I think you are really underestimating how powerful nukes are, for one, just having lots of people die is very detrimental to the war effort because a lot of people like skilled factory workers or economic planners who dies when moscow goes boom and can't be replaced easily. For another, even low kiloton nuclear weapons dropped on factories will destroy machinery etcTheir will be pockets of radiation and a lot of dying people
The western allies came out victorious at the end of the 3 rounds of wars 1914-1991, so I don't think that's trueallies always seem to underestimate their enemies ability to fight on and bounce back. that is there weakness and undoing.
