North/south would be latitude, so they could easily and accurately position them correctly with respect to that aspect.

Russian soldiers posted a video testing their bulletproof vests. All five bullets penetrated the armor plate completely. "Just f*cking great. Thank you, Ministry of Defense." in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz

You are wrong, those are 5.45x39mm being fired out of an ak-74. 7.62x54r are much bigger and don’t have an associated Bakelite mag like the one used, and on top of that they aren’t fire out of AKs. The only thing close is a molot hunting rifle.
