Shouldn't it be the other way around? link |

The US Army doesn't use LAV-25s, though. Kinda surprised that the 82nd didn't get Stryker Dragoons. |

Cool vehicle..funny they got leftovers though |

Isn't the Striker too big for airborne ops? |

Grossman you hit the nail. Yes almost as immobile as an M1AA. Stryker is appalling waste IMO. Should have all had LAV. |

? Strykers, without the slat armor, are C130-transportable. You do need to dismount the RWS, though, that's too tall to fit up the ramp. |

Is slat armour bolted on? |

The army evaluated both. The LAV was chosen over the Stryker because they could fit one more in a C-17. link |

IIRC the Styker is air transportable in a C-130 with a waiver. So its an issue where they can JUST get it in… Damon. |
