A soldier with the Army's 2nd Cavalry Regiment virtually train with the upcoming Dragoon Stryker, equipped with a larger 30 mm cannon, at Grafenwoehr, Germany, Thursday, March 30, 2017
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany — With its increasing focus on deterring Moscow’s aggression in eastern Europe, the Army is upgrading 81 of its Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicles to boost their fire power to match those of their Russian counterparts.
The Army’s 2nd Cavalry Regiment last week began virtually testing the newly developed 30 mm cannon-equipped Dragoon Stryker, the latest version of the armored eight-wheel-drive troop transport built by General Dynamics.
“The Army has decided to increase the lethality of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment by providing the 30 mm variant of the Stryker,” said Maj. James Anderson, the 2nd Cavalry’s force modernization officer. "Today we don’t have that vehicle yet. What the Army has provided is a system that allows us to train on that piece of equipment before it even arrives.”
