Technically they're "Light Armored Vehicles.". The LAV-25 is an American license of the MOWAG Piranha, a Swiss armored Personnel Carrier that kicks the ever-loving shit out of anything the Americans have designed. Adding to the hilarity, General Dynamics basically capitulated in 2003 and bought MOWAG, which allowed the Canadian arm of an American company to make an American version of a Swiss design so unspeakably shitty that if MOWAG wasn't wholly owned they never would have allowed it. So yeah. If you know what's up, you buy a Piranha. If you want to make the Americans happy, you buy an LAV. If you're utterly fucked, you get to buy a Stryker. It's pretty much apex military-industrial complex stupidity.
Your picture needs more 'Murica Stryker MGS can't really fire sideways because they roll over Paging nowaypablo because I would love to hear a professional artillery officer rag on the MGS
I'm being assigned next year to a Stryker brigade combat team. That's a brigade-sized element of about 4,500 soldiers designed to support 4 battalions worth of Strykers whizzing around the AO with their wheels falling off. So thanks for the tag, but I really don't want to talk about it :D
I'd like to know where you source RPG-defragmenting venetian blinds lol. SBCTs have a lot of moving parts and I'm on the fire support side, but since you're asking it's an "Arctic" unit so we've got more tracked vehicles in the brigade than the typical Stryker breakdown, thankfully. But yes, we've got the big-gun ones.
