New Delhi At last!!!, the United States has green-lighted zkind of technological proposals by which India would be able to produce Stryker vehicles that are advanced in technology. This development will greatly aid in the advancement of India’s military economy and improve the ties between the USA and India. Another interesting aspect is that this will allow India to be the first ever Stryker combat vehicles maker in the world.

Apart from this two countries have also signed a deal of making sonobuoys which are an essential device in submarine tracking. Under the contract, it is planned that Ultra Maritime, a US company, and Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), an Indian Public Sector Undertaking, will produce the sonobuoys in the country.

While he was in the country, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan made it clear about the importance of these agreements by stating that with the approval of the technology proposal it will make India the first militarily industrialized nation in the world to specialize enabling India as the Stryker combat vehicle builder, advanced munitions systems, and cutting-edge maritime systems foreign producer.

India will be licensing a three-step Stryker blueprint from the Ministry of Defence, starting with limited commodities being purchased via the FMS and culminating in joint Ukrainian-Indian production. As a result, India should be prepared to produce armoured vehicles for herself and for the international market via this Indo-US collaboration.

The General Dynamics Land Systems - Canada has developed the General Dynamics Land Systems - Canada Stryker for the United States army in a plant located in London Ontario, which is an armoured fighting vehicle with eight wheels. It has four wheel-drive and can be configured for all wheel-drive.

A range of operational scenarios can be performed with this multi-functional and adaptive platform comprising of: infantry carrier vehicles, mobile gun systems, medical evacuation platforms and reconnaissance vehicles, which makes it an ideal fit for the Indian Army.

The vehicle has the capacity to cover up to 483 km and is fitted with the Caterpillar C7 engine, which gives the vehicle a speed of 100 km/s. The vehicle hull is built using high abrasion resistant steel that helps the vehicle to endure Improvised explosives, while the attached ceramic bolt-on armor protects the Stryker from anti air ammo and artillery fragments.

The two-person crew in the Stryker enables it to effectively serve as a transport vehicle for infantry, with the capacity to carry up to 9 soldiers. In combat Strykers are able to keep up with tanks, while Strykers can keep moving rapidly on paved roads during missions or dealing with insurgencies. To minimize the risk for friendly regular forces, soldiers are provided with extra computer assistance in fighting the enemy.

Due to the existing use of Chinook helicopters by the Indian Air Force, the use of Flying army vehicles became un a problem. The regions bordering eastern Ladakh and China are anticipated to have Stryker infantries stationed by the Indian boundary across Sikkim.

Integrating these modern 3d vehicle designs will lead to Mechanised combination enhancement in Army.
