The basic limitation of the Stryker is its light armor. It has no defense against even 30mm cannons; therefore, it must be used in conjunction with long-range threat elimination ATGMs, air support, and intelligence integration. Direct engagement with tanks is not the mission of the Stryker — its role is IFV/APC.
