1. Stryker
The Stryker is an armored vehicle from the United States. Quoting the New York Times page, Friday (27/1/2023), around 90 Strykers will also be sent to Ukraine along with a number of other weapons as part of an arms package worth USD 2.5 billion.
As one of the main US armored vehicles, the Stryker has around 18 different variants. Some of these served to transport infantry soldiers in and out of battle, while others could also be used to carry weapons similar to the 120mm mortar.
In its history, the Stryker first jumped during battle in Iraq in 2003. With an estimated speed of 60 miles per hour, this armored vehicle is known to be lighter than Bradley.
2. Bradley
Next is Bradley. Just like the Stryker, this US-owned armored vehicle was also sent to Ukraine. Quoting the Insider page, this combat vehicle is capable of transporting troops on the battlefield and supporting attacks through fire.
Historically, Bradley was developed by BAE Systems and has been in operation since the early 1980s. This combat vehicle has an operational range of up to 300 miles and has a speed of more than 40 miles per hour.
Usually, Bradley is often thought of as a tank. However, military experts in this matter straightened out that this combat vehicle is more accurately called a “tank destroyer” because it has fire capabilities.
