BTW, the stryker was tested for air tansportability in the C-130 by the Kentucky Air Natinal Guard representing the USAF.
Little know piece of usless trivia.

The KY ANG got their C-130H Herks after parking one of their old C130-Bs in the JoJo's restaurant and Drury Inn hotel at the Evansville, IN airport on 06 February 1992, killing 16, including the aircrew and civilians in the buildings.

What they are purchasing is NOT a Stryker. It has a healthy weapons suite and weighs 14 tons. The Stryker has a pea-shooter and weights 38,010 pounds. The Air Force will allow no load in its C-130 over 26,500. So, they must have drained the fuel and all of the tricks they did here.
