Does the gunner shoot outside with the browning or is they're a way to control it from inside the vehicle...bcuz I noticed not much protection if the gunner is outside of the vehicle..you insight is much respected

[@3-2bravo49]

@@lonniemoody5318 there is a remote weapon system that you use to control the 50 or the mk19 from inside ofnthe vehicles. It's controlled from that digital screen you could see bolted down on the inside and a joystick like the ones in a flight simulator. I am not sure if their rws was working or not when this was filmed. There are alot of extra armor you can add to the strykers that help protect everyone that has to stick their head out of the hatches and they had none of it for whatever reason. Ours had cope cages, netting on top, all the extra armor to keep our upper bodies more protected while exposed out of the hatches. They had the most basic stripped down version but nit wasn't the oldest version. Then older ones had the bench seats in the back instead of those individual seats you saw in the video which are meant to collapse after an explosion so you don't liquify yourself on the roof. They also didn't have the double v hull, which this one does. Making encounters with mines more survivable.

IFV is a term given to an armored vehicle that carries troops and has an autocannon or turret with large gun or anti-tank missiles for engaging and destroying other armoured vehicles. This Stryker has none of those so the term Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) is more appropriate.

[@Julian-zj2qy]

Good point. The Browning 50cal is not a 'cannon'. He does call it an APC in the video though.

[@SimonTmte]

@@Julian-zj2qy 0:38 "Ukraine recieved only 1 kind, this one, it's an infantry fighting vehicle"..To my understanding it's just a result of old equipment and the use of these terms have changed, similarly to how displacement equal to what was a destroyer is now referred to as a frigate or even a corvette

[@Julian-zj2qy]

@@SimonTmte 3:50 "So this is the inside of the Stryker APC". So he uses both terms. You're right. Confusing. Not that it matters I suppose. The old FV432s had 7.62mm in a turret and that was an (infantry) Fighting Vehicle. But we called them APCs. I'm getting a headache thinking about it..

The M-1126 isn't that old they started the program in the late 90's if I'm not mistaken. It was developed for duties where the M-2 was overkill. So this APC is about 50 years younger than the M-113.

[@Sugarmountaincondo]

The main takeaway in this video that everyone should recognize is that even with 20+ year old Stryker's or even older M-113's, they are still far more superior and reliable than anything the Russians are fielding on the Zero Line. If anyone doubts this, just go to inspect the designs of the Stryker compared to its Russian equivalent, the BTR and then tally up the total amounts of video's you have watched of BTR''s being plugged on the battle front compared to any older Western supplied equipment. And if you click the knob 1-notch up and start talking about real IFV's like the M-2 or CRV or Marder's, then the Russians don't even have a class of vehicles to match them all. ❤💯💙💛

Russia has been surviving on the inertia of their Soviet stockpiles.
