Historical Use and Context

The M1134 ATGM Stryker is an American armored vehicle from the Stryker family, equipped with anti-tank missiles, used especially during early 21st-century conflicts – including Iraq and Afghanistan (modern times, after 2000). The vehicle’s famous "slat armour" was widely used in response to the increasing threat of attacks with portable rocket launchers by asymmetric fighters. With this protection, crew safety was significantly improved against RPG attacks and other shaped-charge munitions.
