Post; Stryker Opinions


We've talked out the Stryker but more in terms of technology than flat out opinions and predictions.

Myself, I'm very wary of the vehicle. I guess it depends on how it is used tactically, but the Stryker seems to have a lot of things arayed against it on the modern battlefield.

Now-a-Days tank designers are worried about what newest generation ATGMs can do to their prized chogum armor. You've got that Abrams followed up by a thin skinned wheeled vehicle that needs a cage just to stop an HE RPG round?

It might work for fighting poor ill-equiped insurgents in Iraq but taking the Stryker onto a high-intensity battlefield? Man, that sounds pretty dangerous.

What do you guys think?

they all need to be melted down. The US needs to design a APC for Urban Combat. or they could redesign it somehow. load the thing up with armor.

They truly are not safe they tend to better suited for use in peacekeeping operations and if they ever do deploy the MGS variant over there I have not so good feeling there going to be history fast if hit by what ever the insurgents throw at them.

Keyword "Light". they should take the M88 Hercules design and modify that into a Heavy APC.
