| Stryker Vehicle Struck by RPG |
| 2004-03-29 |
| MOSUL, Iraq - A Task Force Olympia Stryker vehicle was attacked by rocket-propelled grenade fire in west Mosul this afternoon. (3-28-04) An RPG hit the external armor on the left rear of the Stryker. The armor caused the RPG to detonate before it hit the vehicle’s hull; however, shrapnel ignited an external fuel can, causing the vehicle to catch fire. The Stryker crew was able to exit the vehicle without injury. The new armor continues to prove itself. And, lesson number 104, don’t carry gas on your vehicle. |
