And again, depends on the mech in question. A mecha on the lines of a Gundam or Metal Gear is much better than a tank. An average mecha from a Real Robot work walks on similar lines as tanks in terms of overall effectiveness. And so on. Can't find the page related to the U.S. R&D besides that they're working on basic power armor and made a couple of "mechs".

With Gundams and Metal Gears, I don't even consider them to be possible to be remade ecause they're just so unrealistic. In fiction they work well within they're universes, but reality they don't have any application besides being behemoths. But modern militaries are developing weapons that are smarter, smaller, and accurate, not a something that relies purely on it's sheer size and strength. You're more likely to see real robot mechs of Titan size or less because they can actually be deployed in the streets or mountains.
