The Bad Guys aren't gonna like this little sureprise.

Depends on which bad guys you mean. Against low tech types, like the terrorists in Iraq, it's probably bad news, although it's got all the same vulnerabilities as the basic Stryker platform.(Don't see any slat "armor" in the photos or videos, but perhaps it had it available. It's out-gunned by various threat system tanks. Sure it's not an anti tank platform, although the HEAT and Sabot rounds are anti-armor rounds, but it still might run up against say Chinese tanks someday, or Russian built/designed ones.

It can't be airlifted in a C-130, and be ready to go when it gets where it's going. That was a key performance parameter in its requirements.

Apparently they've finally got the problem of the vehicle flipping over when the gun is fired to the side. Apparently.
