The Strykers will be dispatched from the US Pacific Command to Mumbai and then taken to Babina, the Indian Army’s 31 armoured division in Uttar Pradesh.
The Stryker Brigade Combat Teams will serve as mobile land components in the forthcoming wargames.
A stryker can carry 11 troops in its infantry-carrying version and can also be used for heavier mobile firepower when mounted with cannons and mortars.
