The Stryker, first fielded shortly after the turn of the millennium, is an eight-wheeled, all-wheel drive, armored combat vehicle produced by General Dynamics Land Systems and based on the Canadian Light Armored Vehicle III. The Stryker chassis' modular design supports a wide range of variants. The main chassis is the Infantry Carrier Vehicle.

Yes, the Stryker's modular design allows for a wide range of variants to be developed based on a common chassis. This design approach allows for a high degree of flexibility, as the same basic chassis can be configured in different ways to meet specific mission requirements. The Stryker's chassis can be outfitted with different weapons, sensors, and other equipment, as well as different types of armor, depending on the variant. The modular design also allows for easy maintenance and upgrade, as components can be easily swapped out or replaced as needed.

    I’m a Vietnam veteran so all this is new to me. I like the fact that thought was put into soldiers surviving combat. For us there was no body armor or protection in a firefight. Just never stand up or you die.
  • @pzkpfw6864
    Spent 4 years in a Stryker unit. Badass is not a word I would use to describe the Kevlar Coffin.
  • @josephpacchetti5997
    U.S. Military News is a very enlightening and comprehensive study on these systems, this channel is #1 for content IMO, Thanks Sam and the crew at U.S. Military News. 👊 🇺🇲
  • @stalkercop7677
    Strykers are fun to use but a pain to do maintenance on. Was part of a NBCRV crew. Great times 🥺

    Drove one in Iraq. They were very impressive. I trusted my life to the Stryker ICV and my crew trusted me piloting it. There's nothing I've experienced quite like 68mph in a 48,000 pound up-armored 8 wheeled vehicle, flying down a single lane trail using only periscopes or DVE display. I made our captain shit his pants and then laugh when i came tearing into a spot between two vehicles, it was so perfect i took a pic standing with one foot on top of ours and one on top the vehicle to the right and left. The gap was less than 12" on either side. They knew my silent and reserved temperment and their trust was earned with that park job. No mirrors or indication on where the edge of the slat armor is since it sticks out 2 feet surrounding the vehicle so you either use a ground guide, or you just know.

    I’ve been a loader and gunner on ATGM and a gunner and TC on an ICVV. Strykers are quite a beast if you give them the love and care they want. If you have a well maintained vehicle and a competent crew, you can trust your life to them.

    An extremely impressive light vehicle. If they could have a modified version that fires loiter munitions that ground troops could use to guide to a target it could become very powerful on the battlefield to the point that it could be a game changer.
  • @t3po3
    Seeing these parked on the tarmac at JBLM is cool even better is seeing them on the freeway in a convoy.
  • @helmhamburgerhand
    Honestly this thing has the potential to be one of the best tools available. If they can work out more modularity and various configurations a small force of these would likely be able to overwhelm forces several times their size.
  • @Mediocre_JT
    This is my favorite US military vehicle, I hope I can drive or at least sit in one someday.
  • @AADefenceOne
    This STRYKER is an absolute destroyer! It's more dangerous than it looks.
  • @pkybey
    As soon as the military release these for the personal use I'll get one ASAP.
  • @adaarii2893
