Going to be a disaster. From what I have heard, when armed with a 105, the turret cannot traverse, otherwise it tips over. I have also heard that 12.7 can make mincemeat of the armor.

Thanks for posting this, kattracks. You have motivated me to educate myself. I've been googling Strykers and finding all kinds of disquieting stuff. Apparently a number of people with knowledge of the program are voicing their concerns on the Internet.

Plus, the 105 lacks the firepower to successfully engage a T-62 or anything better.

As many others on this thread said, the Army was better either modifying the M-113 or buying LAVs (a'la the Marines).

Supposedly, the armor was fixed last year so it will stop a .50 cal round. Stopping an RPG takes application of additional armor from a kit.

RPGs are more of a worry. Easier to carry/conceal, more numerous, and these things are far from RPG-proof.
