What vehicle is this?

Recommended Posts

i hope some one here knows what im talkin about and knows what it is

sorry i cant find a pic anywhere, probably could if i knew what it was called

i saw it on tv, its this new amazing off road vehicle the military is using, it looks like a really stripped down hummer, or a mix between a dune buggy and a hummer

its really light, gots lots of suspension travel

and its not that chenowith fast attack vehicle or desert patrol vehicle that looks like badass dune buggy

hope someone knows what im talkin about, it would be really cool in ofp

I think I know what you are talking about, it is built by a company that was founded by a former Israeli soldier. It was featured on the History Channel's MAIL CALL. I forget the name as well, but I know exactly what you are talking about. They come in different versions, a casualty evac, troop carrier, assault, etc. You can stack one on top of the other for loading onto CH-53E's or C-130's, etc. They are a mean looking vehicle. The origins of the vehicle comes from the fact that this Israeli also used to either design or drive in Baja Off-Road Racing. I will try and research the name for you.

Its called the Stryker.  Its named after two soldiers both named Striker.  I remember I liked how it looked.  Too lazy to look for a pic now as I'm just about to leave but hopefully this helped you.

Actually I thought the name was "shadow". It was pretty neat to, the wheel covers flapped and bent so the wheels could bend in more, I liked it.

No that's an early prototype from aliens. After they found out that you can't put 18 guy's in this thing they moved up to a larger version. Looks neat, though.
