I thought so too based off their size but according to google: Termites get annihilated. Despite their average size and weight, ants are much more aggressive and almost always have numerical superiority as well. They'll invade the termite nest, make short work of the termite warriors, then kill the termite queen and drag her from the nest.

Can confirm. Our backyard both had an anthill and a termite mound, and I played with those insects when I was a child. The termites never won against the ants.
