Yahoo! News - Study Faults Army Vehicle Transmission problems when they up-armor the supposedly armored vehicle. Same as adding another ton of weight to your car.
Reports from the Stryker Bde seem to be positive, except for the electronics.
"I am a stryker Vehicle Commander, yes the digital stuff in it sucks and is slow. But give me my Strkyer over a up-armor HMMVE any day. I have seen them take hits that would completely destroy a HMMVVE and protect the troops inside. But I agree the army cut some corners on the vehicle, especially with the digital gear and weapons systems"
Wonder what the real story is? Looks like the design was based on European and Russion light armored vehicles.
