Ukraine demonstrates life-saving features in the Ukrainian war in a video. The U.S.
Stryker combat vehicles are equipped with a 105-millimeter cannon for NATO ammunition. In the heaviest version, the eight-wheeled tank weighs around 21 tons, making it much lighter than a German Leopard 2 tank or a US Abrams tank. Compared to Russian and Soviet equipment, this is often the decisive advantage for Ukraine, they say. After a year of service at the front, he is very familiar with the Ukrainian technicians - they can now produce spare parts themselves. The Strykers can travel at speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour. Escaping in reverse gear only saves a few minutes, but it could save lives. The USA has been developing the combat vehicle since the late 1990s, and it has been in use since 2002, for example in the Iraq War. The Ukraine mostly uses it as a means of transport and evacuation of the wounded and the wounded. However, the StryKER was not designed for heavy combat.
