Not without a LOT more armor.
"Strykers are OK, but they are large which will spoil the vehicle when only few attendants are operating the vehicle."
There is no point in integrating two similar vehicles into an army, the cost of duplicate supply, maintenance, parts, training outweigh the costs.
Strykers can be driven by a single person, and only require one other person to man the weapons. It can be operated in combat by only two people even if it can carry 6 to 10.
The hummer can carry 4, and still requires two to operate, one to drive and one weapon operator.
We need stryker and we have stryker, and I can't see any point in buying into yet another vehicle especially one of with little war zone trials.
