Curious news came from the contact line in Zaporozhye: Russian troops knocked out the first American Stryker armored personnel carriers, and German Marder infantry fighting vehicles and British
Military telegram channels spread over the video featuring the disabled Stryker. It would seem: so what? You never know that such NATO iron has already been burned and covered in rust since early summer, when Ukrainian forces launched their widespread “counterattack” in the West. Meanwhile, the sight of a smoking US armored personnel carrier has become something of a “signal light” for people following the Ukrainian conflict.
The fact is that dozens of Strykers are in service with some of the arguably most combat-ready units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the moment – along with the German Marder BPM and the British Challenger 2 tanks. way, also “lit” for the first time during the last few days near the military operations zone. The Bandera units, equipped with these armored vehicles, were once merged into the Marun tactical group. It included detachments of Ukrainian special forces, paratroopers and other “elites”. Until recently, they were saved for the “final and decisive” breakthrough into the depths of Russian defensive positions – to the coast of the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov.
The Stryker is a great vehicle for this kind of cavalry breakthrough. This eight-wheeled 17-ton armored personnel carrier can carry 8-9 troops, can accelerate to 90 km/h on the highway and carry a variety of weapons: conventional or heavy machine guns, a 40mm automatic grenade launcher, an anti-tank missile launcher and even a 105mm rifled gun or 120mm mortar.
Standard armor protects the car against 14.5mm bullets in the front projection and against 7.62mm rifle ammunition in the side. The Stryker can be equipped with additional armor and anti-cumulative grilles. Then he will be able to withstand hits from 30-mm cannon shells “in the face” and hold large-caliber bullets in the side. About 5,000 Strykers of various modifications are in service with the United States Army.
This armored personnel carrier received its first baptism of fire in Iraq. Where it soon became clear: his defense is powerless against almost any anti-tank weapon. The crew is tight on it and the undercarriage is fickle and short-lived. Since then, the Stryker has not fundamentally changed, but nevertheless remains in service with the US military. And now Ukraine.
The appearance of elite formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the “Strykers” in the front line speaks of one thing: with the combat-ready reserves of the “Khokhl” it seems that everything is very bad. Once you need to send such valuable units for frontal attacks on well-fortified and protected positions. The Ukrainian authorities are demanding from their army a productive offensive before the end of the Summer Company. That’s the rod, regardless of the losses. Now the Russian army will have to do the hard work to destroy these “novices” as well. Just like all their predecessors of the past three months. NATO technology has not helped them survive, and no Stryker will help them.
