Stryker is a family of eight-wheel-drive combat vehicles, transportable in a C-130 aircraft, built for the US Army by General Dynamics Land Systems - Canada ...
The Stryker is garbage anyways its more like a LAV 2.5 then a LAV 3. The
Stryker has the narrower wheel base and less powerful engine that the LAV 2
has plus all the extra armour and armaments that the LAV 3 has. Thats what
makes it get stuck so easily and so tippy. The LAV 3 we use up here in
Canada is a different vehicle it has a far larger engine and a wider wheel
base. The clips you see here of a LAV 3 going through mud missing wheels
and crap, the American Stryker won't do that at all.
Thats a couple of canadian designs as well as the LAV-25 (25mm bushmaster
chain gun), LAV-AT (Anti Tank) and then the stryker (LAV 3). For the most
part, frosty4700 is kinda right, the older LAV's are kinda rickety but...
they do the job. They can roll with a couple wheels missing. Not so good
against IED's but, they do well against some RPG's and most small arms
fire. As for the whole "log across the road" thing... they're pretty dam
good off-road and a TREE wouldnt stop us from rolling on
There are attachments I have seen them hell one of my friends said that you
can kill tanks day in and day out with the the Crvt7 launcher stating that
he saw and LAV-III take on and kill 2 Taliban T-34's at 2km with the IR
missiles and then the lav preceded to hit bunkers with unguided versions
(note CRVT7 although can be used as an AT weapon is meant for bunkers and
buildings and can kill a T-72 at up to 5km) take a look around for a video
of an LAV with those launchers on the sides
I am sure what you say is the truth but do not remember ever seeing a
Stryker stuck in Lewis. Personally the travesty is not able to fly a whole
brigade to anywhere in the world in 4 days when no one ever did the math
for how many planes would be dedicated to flying five brigades to the war
zone. Slat armor does not allow for this and not enough dedicated planes
for Strykers. At nleast the Marines are amphibious and we are not. Am sure
Don Rumsfeld made a pile of cash in the markets
@889900ism Well, depends what you mean. It's faster then a Bradley if it's
speed. If you mean which is a better fighter, Bradley is also a Tank
Destroyer, so it's most likely that the American M2/M3 Bradley would win
that. Your never going to see this beat a T-72 or any Main Battle Tank for
that matter, but the Bradley did it during Desert Storm. Of course, this
could run away from a tank so easily...
Are you sure about that? The world people know is not the real world.
Camera, Phone, PC, TV and Satellite... this is a huge prison. Camera watch
you, phone hear your communication, pc watch your activity, tv influence
you, satellite keep a eye on you.. This is not a FREEDOM. This is a fake
FREEDOM. USA and UK is the worst freedom, you are watched all the time by
camera.
I think it's great that the U.S. have bought these, as they have been great
vehicles for many many years. It was funny that some parts of this video
are almost identical to Mowag's (the original European inventor )
promotional videos lol. If it works, it works, and there was no need for
the U.S. to try to better the original.
Well... this is old :P I (in my total of 0 secs in the military) have never
seen a picture or video where the Lav-25 or Lav-3 with at weapons attached.
In fact, the only time the possibility was suggested was in BF2 and BF3.
I'm sure it's possible... But it's also possible to beat an F-22 with a
Sopwith Camel :/
there are attachable AT weapons on the USMC and Canadian army LAV's such as
4X 2 CRVT7 launchers you can equip them with IR trackers to make it into a
long range AT missile for cheep and effective, or Tow missiles and or
javelins among other things. anything you can put onto the Bradley you can
put onto and LAV.
The Bison is the original LAV1, it uses a different engine (Detroit Diesel
6V53T) and minimal electronics. It is also used as a Mobile Repair vehicle
for EME. There is also the newest LAV3 which is superior to everything
listed, and more superior than anything the Americans use.
LMAO ! What a PIECE OF SHIT! It looks like it's about to fall apart or
rollover and fall apart. Lolz the Taliban need not to use bombs to take
this down, all they have to do is place a log across the road and this
thing will fall to pieces! Truly Canadian Design & Engineering!
Nothing is perfect take enough explosvies in the right configuration you
can take out a MBT..might not destroy but throw a track and your mobility
is gone. I build better armor you build a better warhead...game of cat and
mouse..and it gos on and on and on.
Nope not a ADATS,. It was baige color..we only paint ours olive drag.
(AFGAN proves enough time in the sand and it sticks and even olive green
under neith stil looks baige :D) . The missels weren't in tubes like on an
ADATS so proably USMC variant.
@Orthodoxcrusader NO I mean ABS. In the vid at 1:25 they show it skidding
around without abs and stopping straight with it. Traction control isn't
even mentioned in this video and for the record an 8 wheel vehicle really
wouldn't need it.
