I understand that basic Stryker is right on the size/weight carrying
limits of the C-130. Any info on how the Herc will cope with the
bigger versions, like the one carrying a 105mm gun?

By buying A400Ms?

Seriously, the Stryker (idiot spelling)

The Stryker Armoured Vehicle is named after two US Medal of Honor recipients
(one WW2, one Vietnam), as widely reported at the time.

Nowt stupid about that spelling, I think.

Though it is confusing that the name is similar to a British
armoured vehicle, the Striker.

I'd have called it the Piranha, as vthat was it's original name.
