I'm dismissive of T-55, because looking at how fast the T-90, T-80, T-72, T-64, T-62...were dispensed with, how long do you honestly expect the T-55 to last. Also, it is a simple known FACT that T-55 armor is inferior to the likes of T-62, T-64, T-72, T-80, and T-90, let's stop playing dumb here.
What this means is that literally ANY modern Anti-Tank weapon system can take out a T-55 with ease. RPG-7, NLAW, Carl Gustav, AT-4, Recoilless rifles, Artillery, basic Antitank mines, simple explosive, certain suicide drones, etc.
And once teh T-55s are all used up, what exactly does Russia intend to send next? They've already burned through their T-62 stocks, and that lasted what, 6-8months? So another 6months before the T-55s are all gone?

Exactly right, we should give them no slack and call them on their incompetence mercilessly.

it requires planning, coordination, communications, and everyone knowing their roles and responsibilities. Everyone has to be good enough at their respective jobs and disciplined in their execution under fire, such that everyone else can trust them to do their jobs right and on time. But more than that, it requires at least a few people in each element of the operation to have a working understanding of the bigger picture and how the other elements work and are mutually supporting.
Infantry
Tanks
Artillery
Air support
Engineers
etc.
all pieces of the puzzle have their role and timing, and some people have to understand this to ensure they do the right things at eth right time. And even harder than that, they need to know when and how to improvise when things don't go to plan. Recognizing when something has been delayed or accelerated, and understanding that you need to likewise delay or accelerate your element accordingly. Or, if an element is getting defeated, how to help them without compromising the overall mission objectives. Also, the ability to recognize when you are winning, even though it didn't go as planned, and to capitalize on that. And doing all of this, without the elements ever getting in each others' way.

@nagantm441 Russia does not have fire superiority over Ukraine. Have you not heard the phone calls from Russians, teh interviews with Russians that surrendered?
Russians were getting pounded by Drones, HIMARs, etc.
And it doesn't matter fire superiority. If they land multiple hits on us every day, doesn't matter how many we fire back, they still hit us every day. the effectiveness of enemy artillery against your position, isn't determined by how many rounds you sent back in their direction. It matters how many rounds they send your way, how often, and how effective it is. Are they hitting things? are they disrupting our operations? etc. And the fact they were able to hit us so frequently even after years of fighting should tell you something.
Yes, they lacked long range artillery, because we had radar that can detect single rounds, and can trace it back to its launcher even before it hits the ground. so the further away it was, the higher it's trajectory, the easier it was to detect and track on radar and return fire. So they were smart and moved in closer and fired low angle shots at us to stay under the radar. But they still got their rounds out on our positions. But it's still artillery. it still kills people. it still sends people heading for cover. it still damages vehicles and buildings.
Still waiting for your combat experiences with artillery.

Wrong. I could show Ukraine how to defeat the minefields and breach, but they lack the skills and experience to execute it.
Also, NATO has access to abilities Ukraine doesn't , like air power, air assault, paratroopers, and more that changes the game if used properly and appropriately.
Ukraine lacks skill at timing and combined arms warfare, which is crucial to defeating the Russian defenses. Ukraine is proving not good at making good mathematical decisions regarding which attacks to use and when either. This is something Many nations/people are bad at, not just Ukraine. people struggle to make the tough rational call, and people struggle to play the game of: yes you'll take losses now, but you'll lose less overall if you do X now than if you delay and try something else later. People would rather bleed themselves slower and lose more in the long-run, than to take one big hit early (but overall smaller losses), but win the long-game and save more lives in the end.
Ukraine is demonstrating good strategic thinking regarding drone attacks, but not regarding ground attacks.

not really. combined arms is when infantry, tanks, artillery, air support, engineers, etc. simultaneously attack a single target in a proscribed and well timed manner to capitalize on all the strengths of each respective combat element.
Being able to have units of completely different skills and combat capabilities, strengths and weaknesses, joint o attack a single objective in teh best way possible. An infantryman typically doesn't know much about how to be a tanker, and vice versa. A typical pilot doesn't know much about mine clearing and vice versa. A typical artilleryman doesn't know much about Urban Breaching, and vice versa.
Some people in charge of each fighting element needs to have a working understanding of what the other elements do, and what aspects of the battle are critical to them, in comparison to their own element.
Intelligence happens well in advance of a combined arms operation. Jamming is often going on continuously before during and after, and many elements have their own jamming native to their individual elements. Drones spotting artillery fire is part of the artillery operation in general. Counterbattery fire is not a combined arms thing, as combined arms is offensive, and counter battery fire is defensive. Combined arms coordinates its attacks to strike the enemy targets and not letting them get of their ideal shots. If anyone is going to attempt counter battery fire, it's the enemy you're attacking with combined arms. But if you execute a real combined arms assault successfully, they'll never get to counterfire.
A better example is the artillery fires first, and walks forward as the infantry are moving into range before teh artillery even finishes firing, while the armored elements move up to support the infantry. All the while helicopters and fighters are on call to bring the heat as needed, or to strike specific enemy targets deeper behind the lines to prevent a coordinated counterattack (hitting command and control, lines of communication, bridges to cutoff reinforcements, providing air cover, etc.). Also, the engineers might move in as well to establish a needed bridgehead across a river or piece of terrain that is enroute to the objective, all while the tanks, infantry, artillery, etc. provide cover to them. Maybe even an air assault element that strikes specific target buildings once the ground elements reach a certain point in the attack. and if executed correctly, from start to finish the whole thing might last less than 1hour, or maybe take a few hours to secure all objectives.

@cstgraphpads2091 "Where is the evidence that they've "already burned through their T-62 stocks"?" if they still had T-62 in good enough shape to send, why are they sending T-55?
Regarding your other questions, just because AT weapons can destroy a tank, doesn't mean the tank is worthless.
What is the primary role of a tank after all? To serve as a rolling pillbox/bunker in support of infantry.
If you are on the defense against tanks, artillery, and infantry, infantry with AT weapons and artillery support is a good choice. But if you're going to attack an enemy that has those things, as you advance your own artillery may be of limited use, while the enemy can keep firing. And as you advance out of your protected defenses and push into the defenses of your enemy, you're exposed and out gunned. This is where the tank comes in, to provide support and cover for infantry, taking out machinegun nests, bunkers, infantry, other tanks, etc. This is where it starts, and it gets into more complex stuff from there. but the nature of the Ukraine conflict is such that the basics are what matters now primarily anyways.
