I think the mortar variant would be particularly useful since Ukraine is often outgunned its ability to shoot and relocate would be critical. I was in a 113 mortar carrier and we could go from moving(while buttoned up) to sending rounds downrange in 30 seconds, pretty sure that's hard to stop with counter-battery fire.
I was on an M-901 doing Recce when I was young and dumb. I felt WAY too exposed in an M-113 hull. We got through one with an AP 7.62... NOT very reassuring. Basically only there to stop shrapnel and the elements. I couldn't wait for dismount and sneaking on foot time. The Strykers use basically the same hull as our LAV 6, which is a LOT more protection than those boxes were. Especially with all of the add-ons that GDLS-Canada improved it with using after-action reports and battlefield experience. I love that vehicle. Tracks are fine for really bad terrain, but when you throw one, you are a dead duck. On a LAV chassis, you can drive away with over half of your wheels blown out. Cheers and have a good one..
Coming from the towed artillery, with full support like met and ground radar we'd have rounds out and coming at you in about a minute. You'll be able to shoot and scoot, just not scoot very far.
The mortar version would be great. Was in a Stryker unit and got pulled for a deployment with an ACR. Got did the 113 suck compared to the Stryker. Slow. Very narrow fields of fire. Worse off road, and no, I don’t care what people say about tracks va being better.
I worked on Strykers, as welll as FOX-NBC vehicles, at a repair facility during and after the invasion of Iraq. We repaired damaged vehicles and replaced interior components that were damaged or worn out. Test divers took finished vehicles out on a track and put them through their paces. I was awed by the speed and manuverability of the Strykers. I think we need to give the Ukrainians about two hundred more of them, and as many of the thousands of Bradleys were about to retire, and this war would be won.
These are incredible, wow that with the Bradley, (50+ I think) I think there are 50+ Stryker also which would be106+ already on the way to Ukraine thank god And Canada, France, Sweden have agreed to send similar type I think. All this with 300+ tanks Ukraine are now close to being ready for push once again Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Basically, It's a Canadian built LAV III up or LAV 6... Most commonly with a remote control turret. The originals were based o the LAV III, but combat use made new upgrades a must. So BOTH Canada and the USA benefited from this. We use the LAV 6, the US the Stryker (named after TWO CMoH winners with that last name. They are built in London Ontario, Canada. Near Toronto. People don't realize this because we have a small military, but we have a very advanced military industry sector. We do AI, Optics, Light Armour, Light weapons and other stuff like munitions. For a long while, the Canadian CRV7 fin-less 70mm rocket was used by a lot of countries around NATO. There were even a laser guided PG version, a land use kit mounted on a 6X6, an anti-radiation version AND a GPS guided one.
USA don't not support anyone for the sake of humanity, they support you because the enemy is Russia remember the afghan and the soviet war ? they supported Muslims which they hate, because the enemy was Soviet\Russian .
As someone who was in the first Stryker brigade, renamed Ghost brigade 2ID for our quiet movements and raids in Iraq, I'm pretty interested in seeing what they can do for Ukraine.
This is an extraordinarily well detailed description of the Stryker family. Thumbs up for posting! Given all the recent press about the GLSDB missile, about the only Stryker variant I can think might be worth adding would be one which could carry and launch ~3 or 4 GLSDB missiles. (each GLSDB weighs 600 lbs and is 12 feet long). This would add a lot of punch via. a lighter, faster, more mobile vehicle than the HIMARS

i think any striker with laser range finers will work a dream for the ukrainians. Having the ability to use those m777s even more effectively will be a god send for ukraine. Artillery is a hard mistress to utilize when your in attack mode so these would be awesome. Especially with the new guided bombs being sent for ukrainian himars.
Where do I begin with this comment.... First off the Stryker is a basically a troop carrier. They do not roll in first to start an attack especially when they have no idea what awaits them. The Stryker is not a Tank nor is it a self-propelled howitzer. Its an armored troop carrier. The laser range finder is part of its targeting system. So how would the laser range finder on the Stryker make a M777 more effective? How do you think they use the Stryker? Do you think that a Stryker drives in first with troops in the back and start playing laser tag on the enemies tanks and large artillery so they can then radio a M777 Howitzer and tell them to shell the canon that we used our targeting system to laser range? If they can see it, and range it... well then whatever they are ranging can also see them, its a laser, its shoots in a straight line and it can't go over hills and through trees, its just a laser. If they did something like that we would have one less Stryker in about 60 seconds and a bunch of dead soldiers. You stated "Artillery is a hard mistress to utilize when your in attack mode so these (Strykers) would be awesome." How is artillery hard to utilize when attacking?.... when artillery is literally what you use to attack. Artillery is defined as shell-firing guns, howitzers, mortars, cannon artillery, gun artillery (large), rocket artillery and so on. Basically when you attack a position you would shell it and launch missiles well before you send troops in the back of the Stryker. In Ukraine the land is rather featureless and mostly flat so it is an advantage to stay back and use artillery and also gain higher ground if at all possible. Russia is using upwards of 20,000 rounds of artillery a day! Artillery is rather accurate they are not just shooting artillery round without knowing where they are going. Today with GPS they know exactly where they are on the battlefield and with maps and intel they get targeting information so they know where to send the artillery. They generally send a round or two and move so they are not killed with a return round. The M777 and all Howitzer type guns shoot really far with standard rounds having an effective range about 12 miles and extended ranges over 20.
Then you state "Especially with the new guided bombs being sent for ukrainian himars." HIMARS uses rockets and missiles. 'Rockets' its literally in the name. It is not a guided bomb as it is not dropped out of a plane. HIMARS is an acronym for High Mobility Artillery 'Rocket' System.
@@JosePerez-bi4ge 1. i never said it was going to go into combat at the tip of the spear so good job for for not accurately reading my comment. 2. Yes laser rangefinders are used to accurately fire their weapons, but laser range finders can also be used for getting target coordinates. It obviously depends on the range finder that is being issues, some are mostly for weapons systems while other can be used for tracking support and weapons systems, so it depends on the laser range finder that is being sent to them. 3. Seems like you completely miss interpreted my comment and i can see that which is hilarious. Maybe before making such a long winded comment you should read thoroughly becuase your making accusations of which i did not even write in my comment! good job my guy! 4. I stated artillery is hard when on the attack becuase you need to utilize it in an effective way that you arnt landing your shells into your attacking troops. This is something the russians have done in this war and they have literally killed their own people doing this becuase they dont have accuracy on their side, they point and fire and dont care what happens. Is it not logical not to fire shells into your own attacking troops no? 5. Thanks on giving me a lesson on artillery... not like my father served with the royal artillery in the british army... but thanks for that lesson! 6. HAHA yes himars does use bombs actually. I think you forgot or you didnt know about the GLSDB (ground launched small diameter bomb) THis is fired from a himars. Its a gliding bomb that uses himars rocket boosters to give it necessary altitude to glide over 100+ KM to its target. The rocket is used to boost it then the bomb is the ordance... maybe you should check your facts before you come into a comment section acting high and mighty.
@@ashleygoggs5679 Let me quote you... 100% guilty of 'ᴍɪsɪɴᴛᴇʀᴘʀᴇᴛɪɴɢ' you. Now remember I only read what you wrote so I misinterpreted YOU not your written words. semantics with missiles and bombs (HIMARS)... Saab and Boeing have together developed the Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) - 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 designed to meet the evolving needs of the armed forces. You know damn well the general rule is bombs are dropped from planes and missiles are 'launched' from a system or platform. Then there are the exceptions like the Bunker Buster they used in the Middle East on Saddam when they needed more kinetic enrgy they strapped on an engine. Your words "not like my father served with the royal artillery in the british army... but thanks for that lesson!" I served, my whole family served... what does any of that have to do with inaacurate posting. I must admit this post is good, you spent time and did the research or articulated the information about 90x better. I will say congrats tou you... actually an excellent job. Not kidding this was a great rebuttle and post. You give credit where credit is due and you deserve it on this post not that last schite post. Now I understand 'you' but the post you made bade dude... seriously What is this about? You want to get technical or use semantics but imagine a person who knows nothing about anything and they read your post word for word like I did. They would come out of that with bad info. You know how people are these days, they read one thing they remember and that is their goto...good, bad or indifferent info. I didn't misinterpret your words you wrote the comment like @ss!.. But I did get to see You in all of this and I see someone 200x better than that post. Redeemed! I will delete my previous comment as coutesy but go back and edit that damn thing... U can do that!
They are discontinuing the version firing the 105 cannon. Vehicle wasn't study enough without lowering spades which cut back on mobility. The shock of the gun firing shook things apart without letting the energy from the recoil be transferred to the ground. At that point your better off just towing artillery.
I'm curious, are any of the variants capable of being altered to any degree in the field or do they have to be taken out of use for extended periods for functionality to be changed?
I would imagine it's the same reason you always have a secondary weapon; in case the first one screws up. At least you can contribute something with your secondary weapon to support the ongoing operation before you have to retreat all the way back to get repaired. The odds of two weapons breaking-down at the same time are a lot lower than they are for one weapon going bust.
Thanks for the video, but the correct transliteration is Kyiv, not Kiev. It would be correct if the author of the video corrected the error. Why this is important is because if you want the correct transliteration from the Ukrainian language, the correct name of the city will be Kyiv, not Kiev. Thanks for the cool content to the author.❤👍👍 Thank you to all the countries that support Ukraine in this fight against unjustified aggression and evil, which the russian federation is carrying by unleashing a full-scale war against Ukraine, Europe and the whole world.
@@cameronmcleod8419 it was the original spelling of the city and recognized by the entire world. Ukraine changed the spelling 2 years after becoming an independent state after the fall of the USSR. So yes it is a Russian spelling, but since Ukraine was never an independent country until 1991, it is still the original spelling.
@@mopar_dude9227 in which part of the comment you can see some dissatisfaction, on the contrary, I thank all those who help and understand the situation, since russia is a threat to the entire world order, which it began to destroy starting from 2014, spitting on all norms and international agreements. The last straw was the fact that after promises about not wanting war, Russian troops invaded the territory of Ukraine, unleashing a full-scale war.
Did I miss it or did you not report exactly which Strykers the United States is sending to Ukraine? By the way, you may wish to mention that the M1128 Mobile Gun System (MGS) or the Stryker mounting a 105 mm tank gun was retired at the end of 2022 due to design and operational deficiencies.
I wonder if a mid range anti-air variant would be useful or a waste? Basically radar seeking SAM and and a gun capable of taking out helicopters? Or maybe it would be too much gear for a single vehicle?
@@Military-TVctually it’s not that good of an idea. Placing a CIWS like phalanx would present a huge target. Moreover, the weight distribution would be terrible. But mostly because this idea is not only old, but been put into production. And none of them look like a CIWS placed on top of an armoured vehicle. Also change your title to use Kyiv correctly. It’s not spelt kiev.
Strikers are not armored fighting vehicles. They are APCs. There is a massive difference. I love my Stryker. They are great. But they are not an IVF like a Bradley.
@@larryc1616 The Bradley is heavily armed and armored. It carries a relatively small number of infantry to support it and the tanks it is supposed to be with. Because of this, it is slow (say 40 MPH). A Stryker is lightly armored (only rated to stop .50 cal). It carries a lot of infantry. A Stryker is fast, they 74 PMH, and that is because they have a governor, and are much after off road because of the suspension system off-road then a track assuming open area. . In a Bradley element, the Brad is the primary weapon, and the infantry support, in a stryker element, the Infantry is the primary weapon, and the Stryker Supports.
I still carry a melted ball of metal in my pocket that has been with me since 2005. It is what remains of the vaunted Stryker. The thing and several young Infantrymen burned to a crisp and melted down to a white hot firey lump churning out a deep black plume of smoke. None of this shit is infallible. One angry man with a shovel and a 300 pound ariel bomb can make for an awful day.
I hope the Stryker variant with the SHORAD system can be part of the package for Ukraine. This will take care of any helis, drones or close air support of the invading Russian forces.
When will the world take care of the invading US forces all arround the world? Its about time we forma coalition and smash that bully. Time will come. US will go down soon. The World has had enough. Politicians are allrdy planning. Saudi Arabia going off Petro Dollar. Bye bye US. Ä
The SHORAD Stryker platform wouldn’t be as effective as other needed platforms. MANPADS are working just fine for the soldiers providing a portable, smaller target, and less expensive package to handle any air support they encounter. It would be very interesting to see what the SHORAD laser system could do in a combat application.
Nailed it. I am a styker infantryman with 2 tours in combat. I love the stryker, but it is only as useful as the infantry inside it. It is not intended to be a frontline fighter, it is designed to support the troops on foot.
I operated the M1132 ESV. That thing is hot garbage. Not to mention they haven't been properly fixed in years. I could probably write a book on all the issues. I had to have three pages on the 5988 of the faults with these and they never got fixed. I bet Ukraine is getting those same ones because my old unit just got rid of them last year. They were ment for small arm fire and maybe an RPG round at max. A single tank round will blow this thing right up. Even artillery rounds will blow this up. You hit the left side of this APC and you kill the driver/TC/Gunner. You also destroy all the electronics that control it. The hood is only 1/2 thick and a shape explosive will take the engine out if hit in the right area. It's really only good for transportation or unarmed crowd control. Also the fuel tanks are in the back exposed. Eight wheel casket.
everboby is hyped about the modern tanks for ukraine, im starting to think the bradleys, marauders,and strykers might be even a better weapons system for ukraine. lighter, faster,probably better off road in those muddy open fields,and they still pack a punch. heres to hoping ukraine gets everything else it needs and wins this war,slava ukrain!
My interest over striker, is about the simplest variant, and I don’t need, at all, a armed one. My goal is get a base to a DYT caravan project, and the 8 x 8 chassis is just convenient. In the case anybody know any contact to get one from black market, Ukrainian or Russian , please let me know. I am interested in one.
@@ronwilken5219 Actually, some infantry in Iraq stated they could push this vehicle to 80mph. I suggest that they will be an excellent ambulance, complete with serenes. . .
IF YOU HIT THE WHEELS WITH AN RPG, THESE VEHICLES ARE DEAD IN THE WATER PAL, NO BALLISTIC SKIRT LIKE THE ONE I SAW BEEN DESTROYED AFTER THEY HIT THE WHEELS, THAT THING COULDN'T MOVE AND BECAME A SEATING DUCK, THEY HIT IT WITH EVERYTHING ON THE BOOK, THE SOLDIERS ABANDONED THE VEHICLE IN FEW MINUTES, AFTER THAT, IT GOT HIT WIT RPGS, 50 CALIBER MACHINE GUNS, 40 mm GRANADES
How about a “thunder run” version with 6 remote operated grenade launchers?The 6 people inside each get their own gun camera view. Another version but with 50 cal heavy guns instead. 6 of each and 6 with the big heavy shoot on the run gun. You could roll through a 9:08 city at 40 mph f ing everything in a 1000 foot radius as you go. Triple 6 special delivery right through the Russian frontline.
These vehicles are weight limited. You can't just put a thousand guns on it and act like its going to not blow out the suspension. Even the mortar variant is so over loaded it can't run a single .50 cal machine gun. The suspension system is highly sensitive to added armor and weight. They are infantry carriers, not tanks.
The Stryker is a family of eight-wheeled armored fighting vehicles derived from the Canadian LAV III. Stryker vehicles are produced by General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada for the United States Army in a plant in London, Ontario. Its come along way baby!
Tow is an outdated system now though. Effective still but the wire guided element is its biggest draw back. if what i read is true tow cannot be used while firing over bodies of water.
You spelt the capitol of Ukraine wrong, It is Kyiv. Bad mistake, which will upset people because the way you spelt it, is when it was occupied by the U.S.S.R.
I know guys who fought in Iraq in 2004. They said that this vehicle was easy prey to Molotov cocktails.. just roll one from front or behind and whole thing goes up in flames
All these variants look good for Ukraine. I just hope they can get enough numbers to make a difference in Ukraine. Ukraine deserveso all the help every Nato mamber can give them as they are spilling their blood not ours we're only sending weapons so deserve the help as it could be anyone in Europe next!.
They seem to be tech heavy machines that are taking war fighting knowledge away from soldiers; in harder extreme situation wars. The two most useful strikers. The mortar and 30mm gun. With a small drone vehicle launched for mortar targeting.
You don't need a drone to target mortars if you are properly functioning in a cohesive battalion. These vehicles are support for infantry troops, not individual combat brawling vehicles. Your comment seems like you are a bit out of your depth when it comes to military divisions operating in a combat environment.
Just because England experience during WW2 and America never tired and afraid of Hitler sending airplanes,tanks other war materials then manpower,men of war to England and Africa to Europe then Russia but some are ignorant that it could happen again now with the war in ukraine

Today with GPS they know exactly where they are on the battlefield and with maps and intel they get targeting information so they know where to send the artillery. They generally send a round or two and move so they are not killed with a return round. The M777 and all Howitzer type guns shoot really far with standard rounds having an effective range about 12 miles and extended ranges over 20.
Then you state "Especially with the new guided bombs being sent for ukrainian himars." HIMARS uses rockets and missiles. 'Rockets' its literally in the name. It is not a guided bomb as it is not dropped out of a plane. HIMARS is an acronym for High Mobility Artillery 'Rocket' System.
@@JosePerez-bi4ge 1. i never said it was going to go into combat at the tip of the spear so good job for for not accurately reading my comment.
2. Yes laser rangefinders are used to accurately fire their weapons, but laser range finders can also be used for getting target coordinates. It obviously depends on the range finder that is being issues, some are mostly for weapons systems while other can be used for tracking support and weapons systems, so it depends on the laser range finder that is being sent to them.
3. Seems like you completely miss interpreted my comment and i can see that which is hilarious. Maybe before making such a long winded comment you should read thoroughly becuase your making accusations of which i did not even write in my comment! good job my guy!
4. I stated artillery is hard when on the attack becuase you need to utilize it in an effective way that you arnt landing your shells into your attacking troops. This is something the russians have done in this war and they have literally killed their own people doing this becuase they dont have accuracy on their side, they point and fire and dont care what happens. Is it not logical not to fire shells into your own attacking troops no?
5. Thanks on giving me a lesson on artillery... not like my father served with the royal artillery in the british army... but thanks for that lesson!
6. HAHA yes himars does use bombs actually. I think you forgot or you didnt know about the GLSDB (ground launched small diameter bomb) THis is fired from a himars. Its a gliding bomb that uses himars rocket boosters to give it necessary altitude to glide over 100+ KM to its target. The rocket is used to boost it then the bomb is the ordance... maybe you should check your facts before you come into a comment section acting high and mighty.
@@ashleygoggs5679 Let me quote you...
100% guilty of 'ᴍɪsɪɴᴛᴇʀᴘʀᴇᴛɪɴɢ' you.
Now remember I only read what you wrote so I misinterpreted YOU not your written words.
semantics with missiles and bombs (HIMARS)... Saab and Boeing have together developed the Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) - 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 designed to meet the evolving needs of the armed forces.
You know damn well the general rule is bombs are dropped from planes and missiles are 'launched' from a system or platform. Then there are the exceptions like the Bunker Buster they used in the Middle East on Saddam when they needed more kinetic enrgy they strapped on an engine.
Your words "not like my father served with the royal artillery in the british army... but thanks for that lesson!" I served, my whole family served... what does any of that have to do with inaacurate posting.
I must admit this post is good, you spent time and did the research or articulated the information about 90x better. I will say congrats tou you... actually an excellent job. Not kidding this was a great rebuttle and post. You give credit where credit is due and you deserve it on this post not that last schite post. Now I understand 'you' but the post you made bade dude... seriously
What is this about? You want to get technical or use semantics but imagine a person who knows nothing about anything and they read your post word for word like I did. They would come out of that with bad info. You know how people are these days, they read one thing they remember and that is their goto...good, bad or indifferent info. I didn't misinterpret your words you wrote the comment like @ss!.. But I did get to see You in all of this and I see someone 200x better than that post. Redeemed! I will delete my previous comment as coutesy but go back and edit that damn thing... U can do that!
They are discontinuing the version firing the 105 cannon. Vehicle wasn't study enough without lowering spades which cut back on mobility. The shock of the gun firing shook things apart without letting the energy from the recoil be transferred to the ground. At that point your better off just towing artillery.
And THAT may be the reason for the Booker.
I'm curious, are any of the variants capable of being altered to any degree in the field or do they have to be taken out of use for extended periods for functionality to be changed?
Ever heard of the Ratel? South African armoured Infantry vehicle designed in the 80’s? Way ahead of its time. Predecessor of IFV’s
Whats with the additional 82mm Mortar for the Mortar Version? Whats the logic behind this?
I would imagine it's the same reason you always have a secondary weapon; in case the first one screws up. At least you can contribute something with your secondary weapon to support the ongoing operation before you have to retreat all the way back to get repaired.
The odds of two weapons breaking-down at the same time are a lot lower than they are for one weapon going bust.
Thanks for the video, but the correct transliteration is Kyiv, not Kiev. It would be correct if the author of the video corrected the error. Why this is important is because if you want the correct transliteration from the Ukrainian language, the correct name of the city will be Kyiv, not Kiev. Thanks for the cool content to the author.❤👍👍
Thank you to all the countries that support Ukraine in this fight against unjustified aggression and evil, which the russian federation is carrying by unleashing a full-scale war against Ukraine, Europe and the whole world.
No its not. Kiev is english name for the city.
@@TheBooban It's the Russian name for Kyiv, not English in the least.
@@cameronmcleod8419 it was the original spelling of the city and recognized by the entire world. Ukraine changed the spelling 2 years after becoming an independent state after the fall of the USSR. So yes it is a Russian spelling, but since Ukraine was never an independent country until 1991, it is still the original spelling.
Well since the US has spent $100 billion dollars of taxpayers money, that should have been spent on our own people, we can call it whatever the fu
@@mopar_dude9227 in which part of the comment you can see some dissatisfaction, on the contrary, I thank all those who help and understand the situation, since russia is a threat to the entire world order, which it began to destroy starting from 2014, spitting on all norms and international agreements. The last straw was the fact that after promises about not wanting war, Russian troops invaded the territory of Ukraine, unleashing a full-scale war.
Informative, thank you. It is Kyiv not Kiev though :)
Is the Stryker to remain in service after the Booker takes the field?
The Striker is the first new US Army vehicle since the Abrams tank???? I don't think you're right about that...
He is. Until the jltv.
@@TheBooban The Abrams tank first saw service in 1980. The Humvee was introduced in 1989, The MRAP was introduced in 2007. I can think of more.
@@chuck571 The Stryker was before the MRAP. The Humvee wasn't designed as an armored vehicle.
Think the line was that the Stryker *was* the first new vehicle since the Abrams. As in, there've been more since.
Did I miss it or did you not report exactly which Strykers the United States is sending to Ukraine? By the way, you may wish to mention that the M1128 Mobile Gun System (MGS) or the Stryker mounting a 105 mm tank gun was retired at the end of 2022 due to design and operational deficiencies.
The AGS ( one with 105mm gun) has been retired from the Army and is no longer in use by the Army
Retired but not removed in stocks. So they can be technically given to the Ukrainians.
105 mm ammunition shouldnt be to hard to come by either
@@parsian5919
I doubt the Ukrainians would thank them for the MGS! 🤣🤣
Whatever happened to the breach loading mortar version? Fire four rounds and scoot
IF THEY DON'T ADD ON BALLISTIC SKIRTS TO THESE VEHICLES, THOSE WHEELS WILL BE THE DEATH OF THEM, I WOULDN'T BE TO COMFORTABLE KNOWING THAT
What variant of Stryker and Bradley are they sending.
please spell it kyiv not the russified kiev - please
Kiev
QUESTION - is US sending STRYKER vehicles with the turret and cannon or just vehicles without weapons; I saw they were sending Humvees without doors.
its not been confirmed. and i dont think they will show which varients are sent until videos crop up on social media.
I wonder if a mid range anti-air variant would be useful or a waste? Basically radar seeking SAM and and a gun capable of taking out helicopters? Or maybe it would be too much gear for a single vehicle?
You should make a Stryker with ciws you know that close in weapons system
Good idea :D
@@Military-TVctually it’s not that good of an idea. Placing a CIWS like phalanx would present a huge target. Moreover, the weight distribution would be terrible. But mostly because this idea is not only old, but been put into production. And none of them look like a CIWS placed on top of an armoured vehicle.
Also change your title to use Kyiv correctly. It’s not spelt kiev.
Outside of ships they are used to protect bases in combat zones but not vehicle mounted
There is a variant you missed
Strikers are not armored fighting vehicles.
They are APCs.
There is a massive difference.
I love my Stryker. They are great. But they are not an IVF like a Bradley.
What's the difference? Which is deadlier, Stryker or bradley?
@@larryc1616 The Bradley is heavily armed and armored. It carries a relatively small number of infantry to support it and the tanks it is supposed to be with. Because of this, it is slow (say 40 MPH).
A Stryker is lightly armored (only rated to stop .50 cal). It carries a lot of infantry. A Stryker is fast, they 74 PMH, and that is because they have a governor, and are much after off road because of the suspension system off-road then a track assuming open area.
. In a Bradley element, the Brad is the primary weapon, and the infantry support, in a stryker element, the Infantry is the primary weapon, and the Stryker Supports.
Why do they call it a "Double-V Hull" instead of a "W-Hull"?
I still carry a melted ball of metal in my pocket that has been with me since 2005. It is what remains of the vaunted Stryker. The thing and several young Infantrymen burned to a crisp and melted down to a white hot firey lump churning out a deep black plume of smoke. None of this shit is infallible. One angry man with a shovel and a 300 pound ariel bomb can make for an awful day.
It is "Kyiv". Kiev is the Russian spelling. We should not be using the Russian spelling.
Kiev
the whole west have always said kiev
MOWAG Switzerland! Not Maui?!
Are sending the MGS too?
Does it burn?
Better than tanks - Need radio frequency disruptor for drones defense.
What is the Stryker AFV the US is Sending Kiev? CLAY PIGEON. WHAT DID I WIN BOB?
🇺🇸✌🏻🇺🇦 Very interesting ,Thanks!!
Awesome Vehicles
how are they gonna perform in the mud?
eight wheel drive
Why don’t all of these have TOW missiles?
I hope the Stryker variant with the SHORAD system can be part of the package for Ukraine. This will take care of any helis, drones or close air support of the invading Russian forces.
When will the world take care of the invading US forces all arround the world? Its about time we forma coalition and smash that bully. Time will come. US will go down soon. The World has had enough. Politicians are allrdy planning. Saudi Arabia going off Petro Dollar. Bye bye US. Ä
The SHORAD Stryker platform wouldn’t be as effective as other needed platforms. MANPADS are working just fine for the soldiers providing a portable, smaller target, and less expensive package to handle any air support they encounter. It would be very interesting to see what the SHORAD laser system could do in a combat application.
If these weapons are effective, in shooting down enemy Drones and Choppers, I'll hail their use on The battlefields.
The AI generated voiceover gives me an uncanny valley feeling.
The thing that people seem to forget about the Stryker, is that it’s a troop carrier
So are btr 80s but both sides still use them APC's do a lot of work just running the gauntlet back and forth from the mostly static front line
Nailed it. I am a styker infantryman with 2 tours in combat. I love the stryker, but it is only as useful as the infantry inside it. It is not intended to be a frontline fighter, it is designed to support the troops on foot.
@@tappytibbons735 get to see a Dargoon yet with the 30 mm autocannon?
I operated the M1132 ESV.
That thing is hot garbage. Not to mention they haven't been properly fixed in years.
I could probably write a book on all the issues. I had to have three pages on the 5988 of the faults with these and they never got fixed.
I bet Ukraine is getting those same ones because my old unit just got rid of them last year.
They were ment for small arm fire and maybe an RPG round at max.
A single tank round will blow this thing right up.
Even artillery rounds will blow this up.
You hit the left side of this APC and you kill the driver/TC/Gunner. You also destroy all the electronics that control it.
The hood is only 1/2 thick and a shape explosive will take the engine out if hit in the right area.
It's really only good for transportation or unarmed crowd control.
Also the fuel tanks are in the back exposed.
Eight wheel casket.
The stykers supplied to Ukraine are the older version without the M26 old version
It’s Kyiv. Not Kiev. Silly mistake fir this channel
GOD bless and protect theses asset's and personnel who are using.
Kindly please use the metric system or both metric and imperial.
- Abrams/Leopard Tanks incoming! The Orcs are truly done now! The war criminals deserve it.
💛💙😎
Very nice, and thanks for putting it as Kiev.
Which variants will Ukraine receive ?
noone knows atm.
everboby is hyped about the modern tanks for ukraine, im starting to think the bradleys, marauders,and strykers might be even a better weapons system for ukraine. lighter, faster,probably better off road in those muddy open fields,and they still pack a punch. heres to hoping ukraine gets everything else it needs and wins this war,slava ukrain!
My interest over striker, is about the simplest variant, and I don’t need, at all, a armed one. My goal is get a base to a DYT caravan project, and the 8 x 8 chassis is just convenient.
In the case anybody know any contact to get one from black market, Ukrainian or Russian , please let me know. I am interested in one.

I wonder how fast it can go.
60 mph
@@PAVEL-JAKL I was being facetious.
@@jarrodshipard 😀
62 MPH and a 300 mile range. I realize you're being facetious and after the sixth time of telling it became nauseous.
@@ronwilken5219 Actually, some infantry in Iraq stated they could push this vehicle to 80mph. I suggest that they will be an excellent ambulance, complete with serenes. . .
What gives? Why doesn't the US commit into sending A1 Abrams tanks?
Made in London Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 and they're not all called "Strykers" only the one with the smooth bore gun
IF YOU HIT THE WHEELS WITH AN RPG, THESE VEHICLES ARE DEAD IN THE WATER PAL, NO BALLISTIC SKIRT LIKE THE ONE I SAW BEEN DESTROYED AFTER THEY HIT THE WHEELS, THAT THING COULDN'T MOVE AND BECAME A SEATING DUCK, THEY HIT IT WITH EVERYTHING ON THE BOOK, THE SOLDIERS ABANDONED THE VEHICLE IN FEW MINUTES, AFTER THAT, IT GOT HIT WIT RPGS, 50 CALIBER MACHINE GUNS, 40 mm GRANADES
Kindly spell correctly. It's Kyiv not Kiev and it's been like that for a while. Insisting on colonialist spelling is either ideology or illiteracy.
You have mistake in title, should be Kyiv!
Relax I think they'll still get there whether spelt either way
@@MainFrameGamerz yeah literally doesnt matter if they spell it the russian or ukrainian way right?
Top👍
Super!
Just to let you know the MGS has been divested from the army
How about a “thunder run” version with 6 remote operated grenade launchers?The 6 people inside each get their own gun camera view. Another version but with 50 cal heavy guns instead. 6 of each and 6 with the big heavy shoot on the run gun. You could roll through a 9:08 city at 40 mph f ing everything in a 1000 foot radius as you go. Triple 6 special delivery right through the Russian frontline.
These vehicles are weight limited. You can't just put a thousand guns on it and act like its going to not blow out the suspension. Even the mortar variant is so over loaded it can't run a single .50 cal machine gun. The suspension system is highly sensitive to added armor and weight. They are infantry carriers, not tanks.
Improve targeting systems
It's not Kiev, it's Kyiv.
When you are receiving hundreds of billions of dollars in military aid, just be grateful and not correct other’s spelling.
The Stryker is a family of eight-wheeled armored fighting vehicles derived from the Canadian LAV III. Stryker vehicles are produced by General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada for the United States Army in a plant in London, Ontario. Its come along way baby!
Kyiv not Kiev 😉
Allah not God
Skip it. He rambles on and on. Does not get to what is the AFV.
Can't wait ruzzian tanks get aquainted with TOW s 😉
The TOWs tore up Russian built tanks in Syria. It’s a very effective weapon
I think they met in Syria
Tow is an outdated system now though. Effective still but the wire guided element is its biggest draw back. if what i read is true tow cannot be used while firing over bodies of water.
@@ashleygoggs5679 where’s the bodies of water in ukraine lmao
You spelt the capitol of Ukraine wrong, It is Kyiv. Bad mistake, which will upset people because the way you spelt it, is when it was occupied by the U.S.S.R.
Good video, minus the wiggle-zooms. Zoom, fine. The wiggles are no. Just no.
Ukraine will only get the basic variant
I know guys who fought in Iraq in 2004. They said that this vehicle was easy prey to Molotov cocktails.. just roll one from front or behind and whole thing goes up in flames
That seems very unlikely.
More fodder for artillery
If there's not yet a tactical drone control variant yet, Ukraine will make one.
All these variants look good for Ukraine.
I just hope they can get enough numbers to make a difference in Ukraine.
Ukraine deserveso all the help every Nato mamber can give them as they are spilling their blood not ours we're only sending weapons so deserve the help as it could be anyone in Europe next!.
Warthunder please take Notes!
They seem to be tech heavy machines that are taking war fighting knowledge away from soldiers; in harder extreme situation wars. The two most useful strikers. The mortar and 30mm gun. With a small drone vehicle launched for mortar targeting.
It means that a group can attack with more force and firepower.
You don't need a drone to target mortars if you are properly functioning in a cohesive battalion. These vehicles are support for infantry troops, not individual combat brawling vehicles. Your comment seems like you are a bit out of your depth when it comes to military divisions operating in a combat environment.
It will be destroyed by the bolt terminator
