Striker Combat Vehicle Reconnaisance (Tracked)

BACKGROUND

The Striker vehicle can be found in the Formation Reconnaisance Regiments of the British Army acting as a mobile anti-tank platform. The vehicle provides these units with a fast, hard hitting anti-tank missile launch platform that is capable of keeping up with the latest Main Battle Tanks, engaging them and destroying them. Although it would not be able to go toe to toe with a Tank its not designed to. The Striker vehicle is suposed to hide within cover, only emerging when it is ready to fire. The gunner inside the vehicle, (or outside up to 100 metres away with the separated sight,) will target the enemy vehicle and fire either a single missile, or an entire volley, whichever he or she feels is neccesary to get the job done.

WEAPON SYSTEMS:

1. SWINGFIRE MISSILE LAUNCHER: A rapidly deployable and fireable anti-tank weapon the swingfire missile is an excellent tank killer, wire guided as it is though it still has a range of 4 km. The only drawback to the system is that the bins on top of the Striker Vehicle must be reloaded manually by one of the crew. The launcher has a 110 degrees fire arc forward. 2. 7.62MM MACHINE GUN: For close defence against enemy troops, and so as to provide some limited defence against vehicles the Striker is fitted with a 7.62mm machinegun. An ammo hopper sits on the side of the machine gun allowing the weapon to be quickly reloaded compared to belt-fed machine guns. 3. FOUR BARRELLED SMOKE GRENADE LAUNCHERS: (2) Externally mounted on the left and right sides of the vehicle are two four-barrelled grenade launchers for laying down smoke to permit the vehicle to provide cover for troops with it, or so as to evade hostile forces.
