Better than a Humvee? Sure, but that thing was meant to replace the Abrams.
The Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle
was never meant to replace the Abrams. There is a Stryker Mobile Gun System
that could not be ready in time to deploy to Iraq. The Canadians intend to replace their Leopards
with the Stryker Mobile Gun System. When the Abrams finally is replaced, it will probably be with a second-generation Future Combat System Line Of Sight Mounted Combat Vehicle.
