The US has announced that it will send a variety of combat equipment to Ukraine in order to assist Kyiv in seizing a narrow window of opportunity to launch a counterattack against Russian forces or to assist Kyiv in fending off an expected Russian spring offensive.
Stryker vehicles will be delivered to Ukraine for the first time as part of the $2.5 billion military aid package.
The ​Stryker i​s a family of eightwheeled armored fighting vehicles derived from the GDLS Canada LAV III 8×8 light armoured vehicle, in service since early 2001.
Throughout its years in service, the Stryker has undergone various survivability upgrades and received "kit" applications designed to improve the vehicle's ability to withstand attacks.
The Stryker Family of Vehicles is built on a common chassis, with some variants having different Mission Equipment Packages. There are 18 variants.
10 flatbottom variants include the Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV), Mobile Gun System (MGS).
There are also seven DoubleVHull (DVH) variants and an additional configuration of a modified ICV platform integrating a 30 mm cannon.
The ICV variant is around 18.16t(16.47 tonnes) and the MGS variant is around 20.69t (18.77 tonnes)
