Weitere Stryker für die US Streitkräfte
Die US Streitkräfte rüsten wie geplant weiter die vorgesehenen Verbände zu BCT-Brigaden um. Die Stryker für die Ausrüstung der vierten Brigaden sind bestellt worden:
"STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. --- The U.S. Army yesterday added vehicles to complete a fourth brigade of Stryker wheeled combat vehicles from General Dynamics Land Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics. The additional order for 116 Stryker combat vehicles (106 infantry carriers and 10 engineer squad vehicles) is valued at $163 million.
In March the Army ordered 212 vehicles, valued at $282.4 million, for the fourth Stryker Brigade Combat Team. This new order tops-off the brigade’s Stryker vehicles and triggers a vehicle price provision with associated cost savings to the U.S. government. Deliveries of the 328 vehicles will occur between February 2005 and February 2006.
The vehicles are part of a $4 billion order awarded in November 2000 to equip the Army’s six new Stryker Brigade Combat Teams with more than 2,100 Stryker armored vehicles."
