Do any Kiwi Freepers have info on this? Are the New Zealanders getting in to the peacekeeping business in a bigger way? Do any Freepers up in Michigan have any unclassified knowledge of other potential customers? And in what ways is the NZ version an improvement, besides the armament? What are the other differences between the Kiwi variant and the version our first Stryker Brigade Combat Team takes to Iraq next month?

They are still working the bugs out of Stryker and there is already a SuperStryker, and the New Zealanders are buying it?

I know it will not take long for y'all to sort this story out.

Freepmail me to get on my Stryker Brigade Combat Team bump list.

I honestly know what the New Zealanders have now. It may be worth their while. Also, the Super-Stryker may learn a lot of lessons from the failures of the first model..

The best I can figure out and basically guess at, is that the improvements to the Stryker, are the improved generation turret, which has delayed the order being filled, and (I'm speculating wildly here) the height adjustment system that allows the LAV to fit into a C-130 without having to be decapitated first. Even if the NZLAV is a 'SuperStryker ', it won't be long before upgrade programs improve the Stryker beyond its current capabilities, and those of the NZLAV.

Good find, this is the first I've heard of this. I'll keep my eye on the company newsletter for any other details.

The Kiwis are serious about protecting their sheep from Jihadist types.

It's perfect for them since they don't fight.
