The Striker is a small but effective mobile tank-killing machine. By Staff Writer
The Striker if of the CVR(T) family of vehicles that the Stormer belongs to (which both are based on the Scorpion line of small tank chassis) though the role of the Striker is that of tank-killer.
The system utilizes the Swingfire anti-tank missile, the Striker can attack enemy tanks at a distance of 4,000 meters (2.5 miles). The missile is controlled by either a direct optic or thermal sight. The Striker can also work in conjunction with a separate optical sight up to 100 meters away allowing the system to remain in safe cover while engaging. In all, the Striker is a solid complimentary platform in the Alvis Scorpion line of armored vehicles.
