I had a couple questions on the picture of the Stryker in Afghanistan below. First, the item with the red arrow. Is that some sort of camera? It looks similar to AFV Club part 25, with a different protective shield and location. Is that right? Second question- what is the box that the blue arrow is pointing to (unless it violates OPSEC, obviously). Can it just be left off if I can't find other angle pictures? Thanks

Hi Jason

The picture is missing.....

Definately a dickfer, 1 ea.

oops. I blame the pain killers


ha...dickfer. Make me think of the Three Amigos

My guess for the red arrow item : a Driver's Vision Enhancer.

Hi Jason,

the "box" with the red arrow is the current model Drivers Vision Enhancer. You can get this in kit form in AFV Clubs Stryker upgrade set AF35D59.
Sorry, no knowledge of the blue arrow.

Thanks Hans-Hermann!

Blue arrow could be a device for Blue Force Tracker System?

Here a picture from another view:

That's a great picture...do you have any more?

perfect...thanks Frenchy!

Another view of the "blue arrow box" ( and the DVE )...

Downloadable hi-res picture from Defenseimagery.mil

If you look closely you can notice a white item inside the open top "box" : it could be the BFT antenna...

Jason,

I'm in the final stages of building an afgan stryker and have a bunch reference material on this stryker including the DVE, strykeshield, BFT protective shroud etc, I'll try to get them sometime today.

Awesome! That is what I am working on
