A Stryker is an eight wheeled, armored personnel carrier,
developed by
the U.S. army. Designed to replace the (tracked)M2/M3 Bradley, it is much faster and has much better
performance on highways and in urban environments than previous apc's. The Stryker comes in many forms and are commonly used not only as a troop movement vehicle but also an ambulance or even as a light tank. It is equipped with thick amour, a cage to repel RPG's, and can be fitted to mount an array of weapons systems ranging from the 7.62 mm minigun, to two 40mm grenade launchers, to the 105mm m1a1 tank cannon.
