I have never seen the Chinese perform this training/drill on the Liaoning or the Russians on the Kuznetsov for that matter.

Do they even have the barricade?

Sorry Kwi but the Marines don't use Strykers that's a LAV25 likely the LAV25A2
The LAV25 and the Stryker come form the same family but are not the same platform.
The LAV 25 has a 25mm Bushmaster cannon the Army never placed a IFV turret on the Stryker a Tank gun but not a proper IFV gun.
