All we know is that the driver was alive (and we don't know in what state). And both tanks started the legendary Russian reverse escape voyage doing 10 km/h.
Or is there something which I don't get?

You can visually see that was significantly faster than 10km/h. He actually turned the tank fully around after it got hit in the side and drove off. Absolute disrespect.
I thought a penetration of the hull/turret would do catastrophic damage to a tank as old as a T80? Or was that just a misconception from the large amounts of misinfo floating around on twitter?
If I remember correctly were you not the guy who posted on a burning, turret thrown off Leopard 2 and Abrams, claiming "the crew got out safely and the vehicle was recovered" baselessly? Would you make the same claim if the T80 was in the same state on the above picture?

Could've been worse though. That's twice as fast as the T-72 can reverse
The T-80 was considered a premier tank when in service during the 1980s. In some ways better armoured than the later T-72s of that period.
Russia didn't have anything that matched or exceeded late-model T-80 armour until the T-90 came along, IIRC. So it's not exactly as if the T-80 is weakly-armoured. Just outdated by today's standards.

TOS-1A strike on a Dneiper riverbank seen through a thermal drone:
Man, Europe is no longer becoming safe for Ukrainians.
Use of Russian MLRS Smerch cluster shells in Ukraine. After the Ukrainian army began using cluster munitions, the Russian army also began using cluster munitions. The video shows rare footage of a Russian Smerch MLRS striking with cluster shells, presumably in the village of Urozhaynoye, Zaporozhye region. At the end of the video, footage of the use of incendiary ammunition is also shown.
Really? That’s a blatant lie and nothing but a lame excuse since Russia is using cluster munitions since the beginning of the war.
Yes, as long as Russian supporters are blindly posing faked „documents“ purely for propaganda purposes

Your posts on aircraft are 10/10 researched and verifiable, however, as a courteous question, can you provide justification for the above 2 claims?
