They are called APFSDS tank shells

A CV90 (not even a true main battle tank) with a 120mm gun would eat these piece of shit "tanks" for breakfast. Not as a hero vehicle that charges to the front and singlehandedly breaks through enemy assaults, but rather as part of a hunting pack working in close concert with drones to surgically dismantle and devastate enemy armored assaults without putting Ukrainian lives at unnecessary risk.

Not shoulder launched though, unless you ARE a tank then technically...
