The New StrykerX Will Be Unmatched 

According to the video it's been in service for over 40 years. You would think that they would have solved the hydraulic and maintenance issues by now. Maybe it's just too profitable to provide parts and service for their strikers for the manufacturer to bother solving the problems.

As a prior stryker vehicle commander, i can say they broke down often. In fact, as i was taking command of my first stryker, it broke down while driving out to the field for a 2 week training cycle. Were they a great asset, 100% but they did have issues often.

Yeah military people especially infantryman lmao

@@vlad23i love hearing first hand accounts. Thank you for sharing 😍

And now they will even worse, since they are way more complex.

More emissions more fuel burn more logistical difficult to ship huge amount of fuel

this video is full of shit. the reason for hybrid engine has nothing to do with green house emission.

Unfortnatly electric militry vehickes would not be any use. Primarily the weight, terain and availability of charging in the histile fields. some countries are using or going to trial hybrid, copied from uk forces site. Hybrid experimental prototypes of the Army’s Foxhound, Jackal and MAN SV vehicles have been developed and their performance is being evaluated under a circa £9M million programme which is being led by Defence, Equipment & Support.

The only problem I really notice is that It will not matter if it's silent, because y'know, thermals. Even if it's electric the rubber wheels will still generate heat by rubbing sensually across the plains.

@@elaqgarahulelpon1479 War is 99% waiting, and 1% bloody battle. electric battery of hybrid system is great for that 99% waiting time.

@@davidjacobs8558 So first off thermals are the most common sight used in combat because they are just that good, and it negates the whole 'moving silently' thing. I'd argue that it's more 25% moving things 50% waiting 15% privates and specialists goofing off/stealing because they are bored 5% getting yelled at for goofing off (good specialists don't get yelled at) and 5% doing anything combat related. Besides if your waiting for 99% of the time you probably don't need to be silent for the majority of it.

@@elaqgarahulelpon1479 don't want to use the big engine when not moving. hybrid means the vehicle can quickly move at moments notice, and sensors and weapon system can operate without the big engine running. there are vehicles with small auxillary engines for that, but battery hybrid is even better, because hybrid battery can move the vehicle, where as auxilliary engine can't.

I love how the video states emissions caused climate change.......

@@alexanderbaker2744oh, that’s because they did. You’re welcome~

Cum?

the US military is no longer an effective fighting force. what a joke

Yeah especially to ship those organic vegetables for vegan diets. 😂

@@Jakezillagfw They ship soy too to feed animals like you

@@paxundpeace9970 It was a joke I was being sarcastic.

Does anyone really care about the emissions. I literally haven’t spent a single second worried about what military vehicles or jets emissions are. Freaking hippies.

Your daddy Xi Jinping knows the answer

kinda the same thing when the engine takes an RPG, are you gonna have the parts on hand to fix the entire unit?

@@livid4370 Not the same at all.. have you seen lithium explode?

I think a Stryker taking a hit would be pretty bad regardless of battery pack or not. Plus, battery banks have been used on other warfighting vehicles for a while now, most notably on warships like submarines. Just design around the battery pack, protect it, and give it a sort of "blow-out" mechanism.

@@robertjohnston8531have you seen a fuel tank take a hit?

It’s a pain in the ass to work in the rust bucket lunch box on wheels I hope this one won’t be a pain in the ass.😂

From what I can gather, the electric mode is only meant to be used in 0-low speed applications like when switching fighting positions or in an LP/OP

yep this is a shit video. the reason for hybrid engine is it allows more electrical output to power sensors and potential directed energy weapons, lower acoustic signature lead to stealthier operations, and most importantly cutting logistical chain which if the war in ukraine proves to be a crucial weak and fatal point of russian military.

By reducing fuel consumption you eliminate logistical problems on the field. Imagine calling for ammo and they run out of gas. Or u have a nice hiding spot and your engine runs too hot to operate and is picked up by thermal optics

exactly

@@Donkeymaster9000 But... but....... electric engines = no loud vroom vroom and I want loud vroom vroom on my tanks while tanks shoot shoot!!!!

I suppose the only positive I can think of being 'green' in a military vehicle is the amount of noise reduction for ambush purposes and possible further range, beyond that I dont quite get it yet either, who knows perhaps this may be the future as we are unaware yet of any new incoming factors to warfare

It's not full electric, its a hybrid. The diesel engine will recharge the batteries. When running in "silent" mode, the batteries can help keep the vehicle running without putting out a lot of noise and heat (very important for maintaining a low thermal signature). Plus, electric motors are excellent at delivering torque and will be very handy to have when dealing with poor terrain, steep inclines, or when towing heavy objects. On top of that, they help cut down on fuel consumption, reducing the strain on logistics. Using hybrid technology in a military environment is perfectly logical and gives a LOT of additional advantages besides being "green". Submarines and warships have been doing this sort of power setup for decades now.

The 120mm mortar carrier is heavily used

If Tesla's were diesel hybrids then sure.

@William Walker exactly. some of these posts I read are comical if not disappointing

It's only marketed as "green" because of PR. The advantages of using a hybrid powertrain go FAR beyond cutting down on emissions. It makes the vehicles quieter, cuts down on their thermal signature, reduces the strain on fuel consumption and logistics, gives the vehicles enhanced mobility because of the electric motors, and helps evolve the technology which can eventually trickle down to the civilian automotive market. It's a win-win.

You're right. It sucks to be harder to detect while having better fuel consumption attributes so you don't tax your supply chain.

Thanks for the visit

About as vulnerable as a fuel tank fire when you take a hit.

@@kolinmartz Fuel tank fires can be extinguished with Halon

I don't think I have seen a video or a claim that a Lancet has hit a LAV 6 yet. US Bradleys have been decimated, but Canadian LAV 6 is still unknown.

Not until it met a russian APC which Stryker would destroy easily.

Russia and u.s have different ways of waging wars , btr and Stryker each one of them have it's advantages and disadvantages So Stryker not having the same fire as btr doesn't mean it is worse it is just not designed to fight the same way as btr 82

Depends on the variant. Most BTRs like BTR 60 and 70 use heavy machine guns I think, 14.5 mm. The newest BTR 80 do have bigger guns but as you can see in Ukraine, there aren’t much of them

@@DU-km3bw meant the BTR 80 yeah, more specifically the best version they got, the BTR 82A. They had a total of around 1500 before the war startet, where around 400-500 BTR-80’s have been lost (all variants), so got about a 1000-1100 total BTR-80’s left…

The striker is being upgraded as we speak so it will be able to overmatch the BTRs. Stryker's now have tow missile launchers, motar carriers, Command and Control variants and lighter armed (battle taxi's) with 50cals and mk 19s. They had a support 105mm Stryker that is being retired. (Hope I didn't miss any varriants.) The current programs are testing are the 30mm auto cannons(these have been already show cased and I think fielded in small numbers) , a new AAA system with a 30mm chain gun airburst capabilities, stingers and a AAA anti drone capability jammer. The 30mm Dragoon will over match BTRs and help better support infantry.

The dragoon has a 30mm cannon and Javelins

It came out a couple years ago but I’m sure it’s being worked on

@@Thememelord134 you mean the M2A4.. BradleyX 🤔

X is just the standard term the US military uses for all of it's experimental/prototype equipment i.e X-35 became F-35 X-22 became F-22. Once the Stryker X, or something like it, is finished the x will be removed.

@@davecallanan6004 The stryker X is like the Abrams X is a demonstrater by the industry how a future vehicle could be specified

Solid list....seeing as the US has defeated every one them or bailed them out of comprehensive defeats. China LOL....They haven't had an original idea since the Ming Dynasty. The most derivative thinkers on the planet....If they can't copy it they fake it until they can steal enough to make a convincing enough lookalike. Your idea of newer always wins is brilliant... Total number of vehicles, the training, or the technology leveraged is always exactly even... So you think the US would lose to a tiny European nations defense force with a small number of "newer" IFV's against all the US military as they usually bring it all.....even if they were using series 3 or 4 Strykers like the ones given to Ukraine.....

It's an AFV. Not a tank.

@@gryph01 so what is it's purpose to make the Russia s laugh

German equipment is a big enemy for place 1

@@DU-km3bw the us military has been building military equipment for years more than Germany so the us military builds it better stronger

@@Thememelord134 ever heard of quality over quantity? Much doesn’t mean good. Look at the tests, which military vehicles are the best. German tanks, IFVs and Self propelled howitzers are better then US counterparts.

@@DU-km3bw tests don’t mean nothing when they haven’t been battle tested

@@Thememelord134 they have been battle tested, yk? And tests do mean a lot because they are tested for battle! What do you think which vehicle works better in the battle field? The one that passed all tests or the vehicle that failed some of them?
