Most of the ones in Iraq right now were probably made in London, Ontario, but Strykers are also made by General Dynamics in Anniston, Alabama, and as they crank out vehicles for the next 4 Stryker brigades we will be buying more American-made vehicles.

Textron is a smaller competitor of General Dynamics.

I like the ASV, but it would have taken 3 ASV's to do what that guy's Stryker did.

"over 50% of all the vehicles [strykers] that drove down that main street, took at least 1 RPG. Most took more than one. And almost all of them are totally serviceable."

Outstanding survivability! Do we know if these are uparmored Strykers or the originals?

They also build them at the Lima Tank Plant in Lima, Ohio. Bigtime Bush Country.
