STRYKER: Reject from 1954

http://www.combatreform.org/strykerhorrors.htm

REPORT FROM AFGHANISTAN:

" Bravo Company arrived in Afghanistan with 24 Strykers, the first of the eight-wheeled combat vehicles outfitted with high-tech communications and surveillance gear to arrive in Afghanistan. A third of the vehicles are now out of service due to bomb attacks or maintenance.

The bomb threats are so pervasive that Stryker drivers have abandoned some stretches of road in favor of driving through the deserts on different routes. The road to one smaller outpost has so many homemade bombs that the soldiers usually arrive on foot, a treacherous hike due to buried land mines."

They're both BLOATED and HUGE targets. LAV-III/Stryker is bigger than the design in drawing. Comparison complete.

Please, don't give them any ideas!

Bull crap. Compare their size.

So, do the Turk's pet terrorists attack strykers to drum up business for TIFVs?
