26:02at 5 miles an hour.
26:04It can ascend a 60% dry, hard-surfaced gradient
26:07and traverse a 40% side slope
26:09without any compromise in driver control.
26:11The JLTV program has undergone significant evolution
26:14across multiple development phases,
26:16marked by critical milestones
26:18that encompass required quantities
26:20and pricing considerations.
26:22Designed to be versatile, the JLTV comes in variants,
26:25each adept at fulfilling distinct roles,
26:27including armament carrier, utility, command and control,
26:30ambulance, reconnaissance,
26:32and various tactical and logistical support functions.
26:40Forged through the strategic vision of the U.S. Army in the early 2000s,
26:44the Stryker armored vehicle is one of the toughest vehicles of all time.
26:48Driven by the need for a deployable and agile armored vehicle,
26:51the Stryker emerged as a versatile family of eight-wheeled platforms,
26:55each meticulously designed to fulfill specific roles on the battlefield.
26:59A standout in the Stryker's design is its armor,
27:02offering the best protection against a spectrum of threats.
27:05Small arms fire, artillery splinters,
27:07and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear hazards
27:10don't stand a chance.
27:12The chassis, configured with eight wheels, is a 4x4 arrangement.
27:15It strikes a balance between mobility and protection.
27:18Going under the hood, the Stryker is powered by a diesel engine,
27:20which gives it a lethal combination of speed and range.
27:23Its primary firepower includes the 13mm M2 machine gun,
27:27known for its caliber and sustained power.
27:30Alternatively, some variants feature the 40mm Mark 19 grenade launcher,
27:34mounted in a protector remote weapon station,
27:37providing effective engagement against personnel.
27:39For increased firepower, the Stryker Dragoon variant
27:42is equipped with a 30mm Mark 44 Bushmaster II gun,
27:46known for its high caliber as well.
27:48Notably, the M1128 Mobile Gun System variant
27:51is armed with a potent 105mm M68A2 gun,
27:56enhancing the Stryker's anti-tank capabilities
27:59and designating it as a mobile tank destroyer.
28:02These diverse options underline the Stryker's flexibility,
28:05allowing it to be configured based on mission requirements.
28:08Whether engaging infantry, light armored vehicles, or tanks,
28:11the Stryker stands as a versatile and lethal asset on the modern battlefield.
28:15There's the Infantry Carrier Vehicle, the Mobile Gun System,
28:18the Reconnaissance Vehicle, and the Medical Evacuation Vehicle,
28:21just to name a few.
28:23A noteworthy aspect of the Stryker's evolution
28:25is its integration into the SHORAD program,
28:28enhancing air defense capability.
28:30This involves equipping the vehicle with advanced air defense systems
28:33to counter unmanned aerial systems and low-flying aircraft,
28:37contributing to another layered defense.
28:39These advancements ensure that the Stryker remains
28:42at the forefront of military innovation,
28:44adapting to the evolving nature of modern warfare.
28:48I'll see you guys next time.
