The PTRD-41 ( Russian : Противотанковое однозарядное ружьё образца 1941 года системы Дегтярёва (ПТРД) , romanized : Protivotankovoye odnozaryadnoye ruzhyo obraztsa 1941 goda sistemy Degtyaryova , lit. ' Anti-tank single-shot gun pattern 1941, Degtyaryov system ' ) is an anti-tank rifle that was produced and used from 1941 by the Soviet Red Army during World War II . It is a single-shot weapon which fires the 14.5×114 mm round, which was able to penetrate German tanks such as the Panzer III and early models of the Panzer IV . Although unable to penetrate the frontal armor of late-war German tanks, it could penetrate their thinner side and top armor at close ranges as well as thinly armored self-propelled guns and half-tracks .
