"Only heard something ringing in the car: in the Kurchyna APC Stryker saved the paratroopers of the Armed Forces (video)

The armored personnel carrier participated in the assault actions, but was lined. Despite the hit of the armor, the car withstood, and several soldiers were slightly injured. In Kurshchyna, Stryker's armor rescued the paratroopers of the Ukrainian infantry department from hostile fire. The mechanic of the fighting machine told about it. His story Stryker was posted on the official DShV page on YouTube.

According to the military, during the initial phase of the operation in the Kursk region, an armored person who participated in the assault actions was shot down. Despite the hit of the armor, the car helped save both the entire crew of the car and the fighters who were in the landing department. Several soldiers were injured. The memade of the combat vehicle said that Stryker was able to withstand balls of 5. 54 and 7. 62 mm, which was actively fired. "Only heard something ringing in the car.

Only when we returned back to Ukraine did we understand the importance of what we are doing now. But we did not do what the Russians did in Bucha and Irpen with civilians. We are fighting with their military. But now You also feel war in your territory, "Kucher said. The Stryker armored personnel carrier was designed on the basis of the Canadian BMP LAV-3 and in its primary form could keep a 14. 5 mm bullet in the frontal projection, and 7. 62 mm ammunition on the sides.

It was modernized after use in the first period of the Iraq war - special modular ceramic plates for Stryker's fighting machines were added. The addition of ceramic plates provided protection of the armored personnel carrier from 14. 5 mm balls in onboard pro-elapsing and from 20-25 mm guns in the frontal. Due to its modularity, it is possible to replace the plates in the APC in combat if they are damaged.
