It does, however, look like a Stryker/LAV. I wonder how much of the design is copied or outright stolen from the Stryker? Or could it be that given similar mission(s) and constraints the designs naturally evolve to something very similar to each other?

"I wonder how much of the design is copied or outright stolen from the Stryker?" The Soviets/Russians were big users of wheeled armor long before the concept caught on in the US with the LAV and later the Stryker. If anything, our designs, or at least a lot of the initial concepts, were based in many ways on the successes and failures of Soviet wheeled vehicles in Afghanistan.
