The 81st Airmobile Brigade of Ukraine has been equipped with American-made Stryker armored vehicles as part of US military assistance.

Although the delivery of these armored vehicles occurred earlier, the information was recently released through official photos. The vehicles were used in urban training exercises with Ukrainian paratroopers, simulating real operations experienced on the front lines.

These exercises involved building clearance techniques, coordination between units, and operational command, focusing on effectiveness in urban combat, a common scenario in the recent conflicts against Russian forces. The brigade highlighted that these skills are continuously trained until they become automatic, leading to tangible results on the battlefield.

Stryker vehicles are wheeled armored vehicles capable of transporting up to twelve soldiers and can be equipped with heavy-caliber machine guns or grenade launchers. Their armor provides protection against fire from weapons of various calibers, and it can be further reinforced with additional ceramic plates.

Additionally, the Ukrainian company Metinvest has begun local production of protective screens for this type of armored vehicle.
