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.

105mm Stryker that Everyone Hates https://youtu.be/WcdH0KcICYQ

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.

Spent 4 years in a Stryker unit. Badass is not a word I would use to describe the Kevlar Coffin.
-
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.

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. 👊 🇺🇲

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.

Strykers are fun to use but a pain to do maintenance on. Was part of a NBCRV crew. Great times 🥺
-
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.
-
It came from Canada that's a good sign.
-
Seeing these parked on the tarmac at JBLM is cool even better is seeing them on the freeway in a convoy.
-
Meet the breadbox. Tankers hate it. It stands up in defilade begging to be shot.
-
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.
-
This is my favorite US military vehicle, I hope I can drive or at least sit in one someday.
-
These are the Great Grandchildren of the original M113 Track that I used to drive in the Vietnam Era. Their profile is very high and I hope they do not have that aluminum armor the old M113 had! I hope these have better heaters than the old one too!
-
I’m proud to working with design team to build this beast ❤
-
These are complimentary instead of usual missions.
-
As soon as the military release these for the personal use I'll get one ASAP.
-
I remember coming into area in Tikrit to setup our howitzers and coming under fire. Marine LAR came in behind us and wiped out the resistance.
-
Respect from your humble NATO ally - Bulgaria. It seems we'll be ordering and getting a decent number of the M1296 Dragoons, as well as other variants backing it up. Love the 30mm Bushmaster and its turret. Looks like a solid machine.

One thing I don't like about it is how tall it is, I feel like it should have been a lower profile. With practically no armor it just seems a bit too big and out in the open. However an upside to that is a comfy interior.
