watch BLACKTAILDEFENSE CHANNEL and you'll see a well-founded series exposing the Stryker scam !!!! THE STRYKER SUCKS FROM HORIZON TO HORIZON NUMBER 4 ON THE BULLSHIT LIST Who made that list , anyway ? The neighbor's dog ?!?!
@gOtze1337 it has to be fast to keep up with other fast, light vehicles. it is supposed to provide support for fast units that are otherwise too light on fire power.
Why the hell do so many of you find any excuse to make some juvenile comment against America? This is a great vehicle that has proven its worth in combat for many years.
@Rammagith Nonsense. Its a costly, clumsy, badly armored vehicle with dubious utility. No one outside the US buys it. The Stryker variants almost invariably suck, too. Watch the "real stryker" series here in utube
@TheTemplarnight My real point was is that it has served its purpose very well in combat over the last decade. There may be better IFV's out there but the real reason I think it deserves a place in the list is because of the extend of combat it has seen compared to others, the results it produced, and the many modifications its had over the years, not to mention the mission oriented way the US has used them in Iraq during many victorious missions.
@Rammagith if thats how u where classifying this than the m8 greyhound would be a better choice simply because it was used in almost every battle in world war 2 and some in other battles etc.. it has a far better history and it also moved faster and had a better gun and it was from world war 2. That shows how the military standards have decreased over the years. Its realy sad.
The idea that this unbelievable piece of shit is at number four is a disgrace. No country outside the US has bought it (ok Canada has bought some, but only specialized variants). This is a pathetic performance compared to BMPs and Gavins.
@1spoon1fork ...they are the American variant of the LAVIII yes. But the Americans decided they needed less armour and no 25mm cannon. Sure you can mount a 105 on it...but seriously? So I'm going to stick to what I said thanks ;).
CoDMW2 is full of crap, stuff like heartbeat sensor don't exist in real life... same goes for magnetic shield... don't exist... You only have reactive armor or cage armor for tanks/ vehicles.
I dunno but I saw this article about an automated anti-RPG system where it can shoot the RPG out of the air without any human control or something like that.
@ZGzoids Armor is 7.62mm/14.5mm, but they don't want to say how they put the armor so a potential enemy won't copy it or make a better version, or destroy it.
Weapons are a variety. M1126 can use a M2 Browning or a Mk 19 grenade launcher. M1128 Mobile Gun System has a M682A2 105 mm cannon.
Just as useless FYI, the Stryker Family has been based off the Canadian design of the LAV III, which is also used in the New Zealand forces as well. Source wikipedia... Nonetheless an amazing piece of kit to have outside the wire.
i survived a recoiless rifle attack because of my stryker, it is an outstanding vehicle. RIP C-22 you were the best truck i ever had. I had the Recon Vehicle not the ICV
@52111centrumcz Jeez, you are everywhere. Look at the comment by Toytuner.
"i survived a recoiless rifle attack because of my stryker, it is an outstanding vehicle. RIP C-22 you were the best truck i ever had. I had the Recon Vehicle not the ICV"
Could a BTR-3 do that? Or the VAB? No way. and is the BTR-3 anywhere close to as modular as the Stryker?
@LynxSr Is it as modular? Is it battle proven? Can it stop RPG hits? Can it even stop 14.5 mm fire? And is it designed to fight asymmetric warfare like the Stryker? No way. The Stryker is only made to fight in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. That is why it doesn't have 20 mm guns or 30 mm guns as standard armament. And it is the same reason the BTR-90 and BTR-80A isn't used by the Russians for asymmetric warfare. The US uses the Bradley for what the BTR-90/4/80A series does.
Why the hell does this vehicle get 4th place?! It has so many weaknesses, it doesn't deserve to be in the top 10! A better candidate for 4th place would be hmm maybe the South African Ratel, it performed very well for the South African army during their wars with Angola.
@KelbAlrai1990 its because its American propaganda, The Lav3 went in service in 99, later on different version were made, Stryker, NVLav etc...
Agreed south African RG series too, have a far superior survival rate with road side bombs too. Canada only used them as road cleariers in Afghanistan, and the U.S did not bother until the death toll went up from IED's, now i believe they use a version of them as a standard.
@Baseshocks Despite the whole armour classified as in material, it can only withstand officially 14.7mm rounds. Its a very weak vehicle in comparison to others. Purely a corporate lobby sale.
The Stryker is a logistical nightmare, largely bound to easy terrain, under armored, overweight, poorly armed, uncooled and is not airliftable at combat weight by a C-130.
Yes, corruption and indifference to the combat effectiveness and safety of US forces allows mistakes like the Stryker to happen. The attitude is the US army is too big to fail and the enormous logistical support of the US can cope with and obscure beastly guzzlers like Stryker and the M1.
@Chinomareno This is in your 'opinion'... are you in the forces? I doubt it. My brothers in the 3rd armored cavalry, word on the sand is that these things are sick. I bet you're just a little geek flunky who spends their entire life thinking they know better than everyone else. Sorry dude, but your full of shit. Largely bound to easy terrain? Under armored? IT FITS A NICHE YOU MORON. It's got more armor than a humvee, less than an abrams, they have to find a balance between efficiency & weight
Being a road bound APC isn't a niche... you are just being naive and defensive, it's rather pathetic. Stryker doesn't bring any new capability to the fight, gets stuck in multiple terrain types, flips over due to it's high center of gravity injuring and killing crew in the process. It's flat bottomed, meaning no mine resistance, it's suspension means there's no escape hatch. Why do you think they put 3 tons of slat armor(failed concept) on them if they were well armored?
Yeah totally, who cares who gets killed driving around in these things or the billions wasted making an obsolete armored car? I'm not that invested in it either I just think it's crazy.
Maybe until you start manufacturing APCs you can't comment on APCs or until you are a politician you can't complain about politics, make sense right? herpyderp..
Think before tearing up, getting angry and telling others to please do anything you fucking dolt, it's a piece of hardware not you.
@Chinomareno ounce again i am not the one bitching about it you are so until u make a better one STFU and if you dont like how the US spends their money then why dont you leave go to russia because they are so much richer than the US, man those russians have it so easy. its not like youve driven their apcs before in combat but yet you know they are better you must be the smartest person in the world, can I worship u? please tell me of this knowledge u magically posses lol your a fuckin moron=)
It's pitiful how upsetting this is to you, it's obvious a basic level of logic eludes you. Far out, were you wiping the drool off the keyboard at the same time as typing that mess? One sentence at a time buddy, baby steps, someone out there believes in you.
@Chinomareno yes i called you out for bitchin and you got all pissy over it and then i did it again and now since you dont have shit on me you are talking about my youtube grammar you are pathetic lol
I FEEL LIKE I'M FIGHTING OFF A RAPE. AND, THE ENTIRE BLACK RACE IS MOVING SILENTLY AND SWIFTLY GETTING IN POSITION TO SLAP ME DOWN. THEY ARE CALLING ME A RACIST BECAUSE I JUSED THE N-WORD TO COMMUNICATE THE LEVEL OF THE VIOLATION THEY BLACK RACE IS DOING TO ME AS WELL AS THE SHOCK OF SURPRISE. THEY ARE USING POLITICAL CORRECTNESS TO BURY ME ALIVE IN FRONT OF PEOPLE.
@15thsquadron01 To be fair they really cut down on casualties for a few months. To take these things out took a small tooled factory churning out dozens of shaped charges every day - rather than individuals rigging up old artillary shells to explode in their backrooms as they were using in the early day of the insurgencies.
So the stryker forced the insurgents to become better organised and equiped.
True that the stryker put cages around them so that soviet or russian rpgs could explode away form its kill zone. Strykers also are called silent death Because there fast and Quiet. Strykers have been modified to deal with the threats. I love the styrker I see alot them here at schofield baracks on ohau in hawaii. Strykers can be outfitted with a variety of weapons.
@Gemini838 Yes. But behind the door in Stryker. Your statement is meaningless. Though you are right. These guys already know how it is possible to quick ruin the this car..
@Imprudentman the steel bars are designed to detonate rpgs and other explosives before they reach the main armor. You can google bird cage armor and it will turn up stuff. In theory, the extra distance of a few inches will reduce the amount of force applied to the main hull of the vehicle, increasing armor effectiveness.
When I first read your comment, I immediatly started to object, just out of natural reflex. Once I thought about your statement, the more I had to (albiet reluctantly) agree. Thank God they were led by and idiot, or we would have probably lost. Their equipment (not their soldiers) were far superior to anything we fielded, and we just beat the shit out of them in the arena of production. 10 inferior tanks were just too much for one superb tank.
i once saw a show that stated that the nazis defeated themselves(not hitler with hist stupidity or the russians/allies) by creating weapon sytems that were too good(in terms of construction cost-time)
@snipski0894 learn some history of the innovations and u'll see that much of the most important things ever created have bulgarian patent ... I'll tell you only one >>> the FIRST COMPUTER was created by John ATANASOV ... ATANASOV ! thats sounds bulgarian i think? we are now in the information age with the computer the core of this age SO >? is that shuts your mouth u fucking scum ???
The Basic desing is a LAV 25 witch is he American Version of the Piranha III... so that meens all the bushwacking abou American ore Soviet designs are over...ITS SWISS BUILT!!!!!
Striker is a copy-paste from the BTR, just like the T-50 is a copy-paste from the reptor. Every designer today is really innovative in his thinking....
@MrMadpenguin No, hes wrong. But like i said in my last comment, I dont think that the Stryker should be called an IFV. The Stryker is more like an APC. But what me, you, or him think dosent matter...That fact is that the Stryker is classifide as an IFV even tho we dont think it should be. Once again, i consider the Stryker an APC, but for some reason they call it an IFV. I also try to point out the fact that the Stryker can also have a 105mm main gun.
@786killzone The Stryker should not be called an IFV. The Army considers it to be an ICV or Infantry Carrier Vehicle. Certain models have the armament of a tank and it can work as a tank destroyer but it is not a tank.
What really sets it apart from IFVs is the fact that it is so versatile. Almost all IFVs cannot be good at recon operations, AT purposes, engineering, and many more. It is not an IFV but something that is completely unique which makes it very valuable in it's own way.
@Sismiques Are you that stupid. The Stryker can be fited with a 105mm gun. IDK WTF your on. But i do have to say that i dont agree with it being called an IFV...its more like an APC. And you are wrong, "An IFV is any vehicle capable of carrying an infantery squad on land with an armament greater than 20mm", I dont know where you got that bullshit off of but your wrong. Even tho I consider the Stryker an IFV...Its still an IFV. So STFU.
@786killzone Well he is kind of right though, the Stryker should not be that high, it is overrated becouse it is American (BTW Im not criticizing American design, they got good stuff, but the Stryker is not one of those).
@Sismiques Stryker is an IFV, By definition and IFV is a vehicle that can Carry infantry into and out of battle and is able to provide firing support for the infantry.
@Sismiques you can say what you feel. But By Definition, The Stryker is an IFV , AFV , APC. Because really what your saying that it is an Armored personnel carrier and every single thing that is made to hold infantry is an APC that include BMP's to.
What your also saying is that anything that typically has an armament of 20mm or more is an IFV. Thats wrong because an IFV is made to support infantry in a combat zone. As long as the vehicle can provide firing support for infantry than it is IFV.
@Sismiques what im trying to say is your saying "an APC has an armarment of less than 20mm"
There have been APC's in the Past that had more firepower than a 20mm, but still are Classified as APCs. What your saying is wrong and misleading. If you look at the Damn Definition of an APC it Does not include the Saying "Anything Less than a 20mm".
@Sismiques say what you want man. You can go ahead and say that the Stryker is not an infantry fighting vehicle.
But just remember this, what you where saying is that a IFV is anything that has a caliber lager than 20mm, If that is true than that will still make the Styker MGS and the MK19 version an IFV as well.
What im trying to say to you is, Don't go around the world saying that an IFV is anything with a caliber lager than 20mm. Because that will make a Battleship an IFV as well.
@Sismiques ok let me say this to you. GO ON GOOGLE RIGHT NOW, And Search for the following -- "Stryker MGS" and you will see that a Stryker does have an armament greater than a 20mm (105mm Fucking Cannon)
And one more time read you own comment -->> "An IFV is any vehicle capable of carrying an infantry squad on land with an armament greater than 20mm, idiot!" <<--- After you have read your own comment you should understand that your still saying that a stryker is an IFV
@Sismiques Cool you got that one gone But now you still have another problem, What About the Styker MK-19 Version? That has an armament of a 40mm
So in the end the only point im trying to get across your thick head is that an "IFV DOES NOT NEED TO HAVE A 20MM TO BE A IFV"
Because if you still want to follow your own words than you are still calling the Styker a IFV. Not only that your comment is also so misleading that you can Call a Humvee with a MK-19 on it an IFV as well.
A rather short ranged 40mm, but hey this is such a great "IFV", that is why it can't swim, can't hit far away targets, not well armoured for it's weight.
@Sismiques do you think that the army cares for the stryker to swim? if so they would of have done that. But the main point you keep missing (because your such a dumbass) is that an IFV does not need a 20mm or more just to be called an IFV. If you keep saying "an IFV needs a 20mm or more" then Yes the Stryker is an IFV
I'm just trying to say that you need to EDIT what your saying and cut out the "IFV needs a 20mm or more" because your just keep contradicting your self.
@MrAzzman31 Im sorry, I've stopped reading your comment after the word "Grammar". Reason being is that you've failed to achieve proper English grammar. Not only that you've also failed to spell gammar Right.
Its spelled with an "ar". Not with an "er" at the end.
@MrAzzman31 Now you've fail to read sarcasm correctly.
Please learn to read and type correctly, then come back and try to make fun of me. I hate trying to make fun of users on YouTube when they cannot even type English correctly. It pretty much already does that for me.
If it may help you, You know that you can type what your going to say on Microsoft Word then "Copy, Paste" here onto YouTube. So your spelling won't look so repugnant.
@packstack15 i dont know in what fucked up 3rd world country you are living in mate but as long as you understand what i am typing i dont give a shit if it is right or wrong spelled. and i congratulate you becuz you just proved that you are not an oxygen waste my friend. i am actualy happy to talk with you even if it is over internet :) but admit that "gammar" was not sarcasm you just forgot the r there :)
@MrAzzman31 I've stopped reading your comment after "becuz" Because of, well you might know why. However Skipping the capitalization mistakes you've made I did read a part of your comment.
Its lovely when ignorant humans always still try to use the "3rd World Country" Taunt. Whats even better is the fact that you use it on me "The person with proper English typing skills". Its like your saying that 3rd world speaks much better then 1st and 2nd world.

@15thsquadron01 To be fair they really cut down on casualties for a few months. To take these things out took a small tooled factory churning out dozens of shaped charges every day - rather than individuals rigging up old artillary shells to explode in their backrooms as they were using in the early day of the insurgencies.
So the stryker forced the insurgents to become better organised and equiped.
neverfearchrisishere 9 months ago
True that the stryker put cages around them so that soviet or russian rpgs could explode away form its kill zone. Strykers also are called silent death Because there fast and Quiet. Strykers have been modified to deal with the threats. I love the styrker I see alot them here at schofield baracks on ohau in hawaii. Strykers can be outfitted with a variety of weapons.

@15thsquadron01
1) The flat belly prone to mines cannot be engineered away
2) The burst prone tires are easily set on fire
3) the view is poor and so the Stryker is easily ambushed
4) the "slat" armor prematurely detonates only 1 in 2 shots, and a direct RPG hit means KIAs
5) The vehicle has the same fuel efficiency as the M113 which can have modern NERA on it, which the stryker isn't designed for
6) It costs as much as 4 M113A3s (!!!!!)

Imprudentman 10 months ago
@Imprudentman the steel bars are designed to detonate rpgs and other explosives before they reach the main armor. You can google bird cage armor and it will turn up stuff. In theory, the extra distance of a few inches will reduce the amount of force applied to the main hull of the vehicle, increasing armor effectiveness.

Thank God they were led by and idiot, or we would have probably lost. Their equipment (not their soldiers) were far superior to anything we fielded, and we just beat the shit out of them in the arena of production. 10 inferior tanks were just too much for one superb tank.

@MrMadpenguin No, hes wrong. But like i said in my last comment, I dont think that the Stryker should be called an IFV. The Stryker is more like an APC. But what me, you, or him think dosent matter...That fact is that the Stryker is classifide as an IFV even tho we dont think it should be. Once again, i consider the Stryker an APC, but for some reason they call it an IFV. I also try to point out the fact that the Stryker can also have a 105mm main gun.
786killzone 1 year ago 2
@786killzone The Stryker should not be called an IFV. The Army considers it to be an ICV or Infantry Carrier Vehicle. Certain models have the armament of a tank and it can work as a tank destroyer but it is not a tank.
What really sets it apart from IFVs is the fact that it is so versatile. Almost all IFVs cannot be good at recon operations, AT purposes, engineering, and many more. It is not an IFV but something that is completely unique which makes it very valuable in it's own way.
franknbeans4761 6 months ago
@Sismiques Are you that stupid. The Stryker can be fited with a 105mm gun. IDK WTF your on. But i do have to say that i dont agree with it being called an IFV...its more like an APC. And you are wrong, "An IFV is any vehicle capable of carrying an infantery squad on land with an armament greater than 20mm", I dont know where you got that bullshit off of but your wrong. Even tho I consider the Stryker an IFV...Its still an IFV. So STFU.

The BMP-1, whose name means Infantry Fighting Vehicle, carries an infantry squad, has a 73mm gun, can fire ATGMs, and is amphibious.

Sismiques 1 year ago
@Sismiques you can say what you feel. But By Definition, The Stryker is an IFV , AFV , APC. Because really what your saying that it is an Armored personnel carrier and every single thing that is made to hold infantry is an APC that include BMP's to.
What your also saying is that anything that typically has an armament of 20mm or more is an IFV. Thats wrong because an IFV is made to support infantry in a combat zone. As long as the vehicle can provide firing support for infantry than it is IFV.

@Sismiques say what you want man. You can go ahead and say that the Stryker is not an infantry fighting vehicle.
But just remember this, what you where saying is that a IFV is anything that has a caliber lager than 20mm, If that is true than that will still make the Styker MGS and the MK19 version an IFV as well.
What im trying to say to you is, Don't go around the world saying that an IFV is anything with a caliber lager than 20mm. Because that will make a Battleship an IFV as well.
packstack15 1 year ago
@packstack15
An IFV is any vehicle capable of carrying an infantery squad on land with an armament greater than 20mm, idiot!
If the Stryker is an "IFV", it makes for a very lousy one.
Not well armed.
Not well armoured for it's weight.
Not fully amphibious.
Lacks firing ports.
No ATGM or large bore gun.
Real great "IFV" you got there.
Sismiques 1 year ago
@Sismiques ok let me say this to you. GO ON GOOGLE RIGHT NOW, And Search for the following -- "Stryker MGS" and you will see that a Stryker does have an armament greater than a 20mm (105mm Fucking Cannon)
And one more time read you own comment -->> "An IFV is any vehicle capable of carrying an infantry squad on land with an armament greater than 20mm, idiot!" <<--- After you have read your own comment you should understand that your still saying that a stryker is an IFV
Your a Dumbass. DONE!!

Sismiques 1 year ago
@Sismiques Cool you got that one gone But now you still have another problem, What About the Styker MK-19 Version? That has an armament of a 40mm
So in the end the only point im trying to get across your thick head is that an "IFV DOES NOT NEED TO HAVE A 20MM TO BE A IFV"
Because if you still want to follow your own words than you are still calling the Styker a IFV. Not only that your comment is also so misleading that you can Call a Humvee with a MK-19 on it an IFV as well.
packstack15 1 year ago
@packstack15
A rather short ranged 40mm, but hey this is such a great "IFV", that is why it can't swim, can't hit far away targets, not well armoured for it's weight.
Good luck when facing BMPs and BTR-90s.
And not all are armed with the Mk19.

@Sismiques do you think that the army cares for the stryker to swim? if so they would of have done that. But the main point you keep missing (because your such a dumbass) is that an IFV does not need a 20mm or more just to be called an IFV. If you keep saying "an IFV needs a 20mm or more" then Yes the Stryker is an IFV
I'm just trying to say that you need to EDIT what your saying and cut out the "IFV needs a 20mm or more" because your just keep contradicting your self.
packstack15 1 year ago
@packstack15
It lacks pretty much most IFV qualites.
The BMP-1, eventhough it is a very old design, does way more, larger main gun, has a coax machinegun, can fire ATGMs, can swim, and has firing ports.
