Asian Military Review
In an effort to update and upgrade its air defense systems, the U.S. Army delivered the first four operational Stryker anti-aircraft vehicles.
The 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment (5-4 ADA), under the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, is the first battalion in the Army to test, receive, and field the Mobile Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) system. The 5-4 ADA is based at Shipton Kaserne in Ansbach, Germany.
The M-SHORAD is placed on the lightly armored 8×8 Stryker vehicles. These variants are fitted with an autocannon and a missile launcher capable of firing Hellfire or Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. They will replace the 1980s-vintage Avengers, a variant of the 4×4 Humvee that can only fire Stingers. The Avenger was less mobile and much more vulnerable.
U.S. Army Brought in Soldiers from Germany to Test a New Anti-Aircraft System
To date the soldiers have been reportedly impressed with the system, and this includes not only the weapon platform but the vehicle, which has been described as bigger, stronger and a lot heavier making it more than up to the task.
Here s What You Need to Remember: It has also been noted that an entire unit was brought in from Germany to conduct the testing. The reasoning was that the 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment has already been equipped with the Avenger system that the IM-SHORAD system will eventually replace. This allows for the soldiers who will use it to provide their feedback during the crucial testing period, while they ll also be trained and ready to use it when it is deployed.
