I'll try to find more things about the survivability of the stryker.

"A 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team Soldier told Lopez that he survived 11 different IEDs and went home safely with the rest of his unit, recalled Lopez with pride."
"We have Strykers drive away from an IED strike with all eight tires flat, roll into the (forward operating base), get refitted with new tires and equipment and be back on the streets within hours."
This one is several years old, but oh well. I keep seeing promising links to articles that are dead.

"The first SBCT has had no fatalities from RPGs and only one fatality, from a grenade. Two vehicles have been lost, to secondary fires, he said."
Interesting note: When one of my bradlies is hit by a tank, there's usually more survivors than there are when a stryker is hit by an RPG.
