Minifigs makes 1/144th, which they list as both 10mm and 12mm. Personally, I think they're closer to 12mm, which is 1/144th scale.

Apparently, the British say 10mm is 1/150th scale, so there's about a 5% difference in size. Pendraken makes Cold War vehicles in this scale, though most of their items are earlier Cold War models. They've got quite a few new items in the queue, or recently released.

There are some plastic vehicles in 1/144th as well, e.g. from CanDo, Takara, etc..

Can't recall any Strykers, other than the horrifically high priced resin, "collectibles" you can find on Hobby Link Japan for about $30 USD a piece, for resin kits. Seems rather daft pricing to me, when you can get 1/72nd scale, prepainted and fully assembled metal vehicles for half that price.

Perhaps someone will make affordable Strykers, eventually.

Can't hurt to bug people at the various companies to ask.

I do that all the time, for earlier Cold War stuff in 1/144th scale, e.g., still wanting:

Marder 1 IFVs
Spz Kurz (Spz 22-11) with 20mm cannon
Spz Kurz with 81mm Mortar
Jagdpanzer Rakete with SS-11
Jaguar 1 with HOT missile launcher
BMD-1 IFV
PBV-302 APC
BO-105 helo with HOT missiles (want 1/144th scale)

I've even had some success in getting companies to produce a few things too, in this scale, and in 1/100th scale, e.g. Jagdpanzer Kanones, M114s, etc..

So, I encourage you to write the various companies, and ask them to consider your requests.

You might also encourage others to do the same here, since if multiple people ask for the same things, they're more likely to be produced.

Lots on the Shipyards site but not current US stuff.

This stuff is accurate 1/144 and matches well with Minifigs 12mm stuff. We use lots of both and Minifigs figures with our own home 3D printed prone bases. Pendragon's figure are 12mm.

At $30 USD it would be cheaper to commision a Stryker from Shipyards ane get them printed at Shapeways if you wanted more than about 10 models. We have done so a few times to get models we could not get otherwise.

There is some stuff on other Shapeways sites, but with their lousy search engine, it takes some digging to find. And it is expensive.

To expand on what UshCha said, I am working through the world's armoured vehicles as fast as reasonably possible; I make at least one vehicle release a month. I am currently concentrating more on the Cold War period, but if you have any particulay desires, I do take note of people's suggestions.

I am also open to comission work, depending on how badly you want a vehicle!

Yea, I hate their search engine.

It is abysmal, and almost useless for doing anything more than just a basic search.

So are you talking after the Cold War then GWI and before 9-11 ? 10mm is a limited market for that generally … If you liked 6mm as you probably know, GHQ and CinC/PFC have pretty much everything for that era. And before & after …
