That may be. A Squadron of tanks (see Brits in WW2, or some Cold War US
formations) tends to be about a company or larger - about 15 to 22 tanks.

Well that line reinforces to me the idea that they would be extremly hard
to crack, since infantry in body armor is quite vulnerable to 20th Century
air strikes, and certainly to space-age ones, unless it was very very
tough, or at least, that's how I read it.
