Perhaps they could utilize their KS-19s against Russia’s T-55s.

That’s one of the few things they could match up against as they suck, everyone is abandoning them, Repubs that formerly signaled support for Ukraine are no longer doing this, they know it isn’t good to help Zelensky as doing so means you then support what the Obama state department fomented, and you then also support Vindman, Pelosi, Nuland, etc, who are tied at the hip with Zel.

So the only truly conservative position is to put NATO troops around Ukraine and Putin will go no further, no longer carry Europe’s water for them, do not pay for the Ukrainian pensions with American pensions as Biden has admitted to doing, and if you don’t agree then you’re pro-Biden.

Ya it can take out a T-55 if they have the right ammunition.
The ammunition of of the fixed type, and to a large extent interchangeable with that of other 100 mm rifled tank and field guns.[3] Anti Aircraft ammunition includes high explosive, high explosive fragmentation and fragmentation types. The two kinds of armor piecing rounds were the AP-T (Armor Piercing-Tracer) and APC-T (Armor Piercing Capped-Tracer) with the AP-T round reportedly able to penetrate 185 mm of armor at 1000 m.[2]

205 mm turret front
130 mm turret sides
60 mm turret rear
30 mm turret roof
120 mm hull front at 60° (100 mm after 1949)[2]
79 mm hull upper sides
20 mm hull lower sides
60 mm at 0° hull rear
20 mm hull bottom
33–16 mm hull roof
Main
armament
D-10T 100 mm rifled gun (43 rounds)

I was looking at the armor on the T-55. and Well, well it uses a 100mm gun also. So looks like they can use captured Russian ammo.
