Hell, they can punch through the frontal arc of some older tanks. During the first gulf War, one of the British scimitar afvs did it with their autocannon to a t62.
The T-62 was one of the last tanks Russia made with only rolled homogenous steel as its only means of protection - I kinda doubt even modern autos could punch through even an early batch T-64 frontally.
 
Watching true and honest Nazis simp for a jewish globohomo puppet is one of the strangest things I have witnessed in my life.
Rooting for either side is to support a globohomo puppet. The only winning move is not to play.

I think Biden as a Russian asset fits the narrative better since in the first few days of office, he shut down several pipelines, thus making reliance on foreign oil a bigger issue.
One thing that gets lost frequently is the fact that russian political agitation doesn't seek a determined end result, but rather has a general goal of causing division and furthering internal political tension to paralyze nations' leadership and hamper foreign policy.

Mayne, maybe not. Iirc, the composite armor for the T64 is just two layers of steel with a fiberglass layer in between, so its not nearly as sophisticated as modern stuff. Hopefully we can get some confirmation one way or another by the end of this war.

Soldiers of the DPR Armed Forces in positions with the PTRD (Degtyarev Anti-tank Rifle). (2:15)

The anti-tank single-shot rifle of the 1941(!) Degtyarev system (PTRD) is a Soviet anti-tank rifle developed by A. A. Dementiev's group at the Degtyarev Design Bureau and adopted by the USSR Armed Forces on August 29, 1941.

Only "Old Men" are going into battle.

Thing still works great as a sniper rifle, and it will ruin a lightly armored or unarmored vehicles day really quick. Fire a round or two into an engine block and its done for. Also good for setting off munitions from a distance.

It still shoots a 14.5x114 bullet, which will fuck anything softer than a modern APC, and probably does still fuck BMP2s.

They're not exactly accurate but damn if they don't patch a punch. Fun fact, the common SKS rifle is just a scaled down PTRS.

Fuck you, you just reminded me I don't have an SKS anymore. Dear god why did I sell my Russian one. I really hope some surplus gets imported from Ukraine after this war, I need new milsurps, and I doubt Russia is going to be allowed to export any here for the rest of my life.

And a musket is capable of killing a person, don't get me wrong, I will be glad to return to the old designs, they are very quirky and aesthetic

I'm still waiting for the tsar tank
