The Type 1951 FTA, colloquially the Bataís, is an armored personnel carrier produced by Faneria in the 1950s and early 1960s. Named for former Taesteach of the Republic Cillac Bataís, the Type 1951 was one of the first military systems produced at scale by Faneria after the Second Great War and subsequent economic downturn. As a result, the Type 1951 was used to fill a number of roles and saw an extended service life, continuing in a reserve role in the Fhainnin Army until as late as 2012. The system continues to be used in some foreign nations in its original configuration, both as an infantry transport and sometimes an armored police vehicle.
Design and Production
Construction of the Type 1951 was delegated to the National Armor Foundry, which subcontracted the National Arms Foundry, Madrat Motors, General Lensing, and Werthyr Steelworks for various components.
Variants
Several variants of the basic chassis exist, including the Type 1951/86, a which is equipped with an onboard computer, spall lining, and modern engine, optics, and track mechanics; the 1951I engineering vehicle; the 1951M, which has an ATGM mount instead of an autocannon; the 1951G, a self-propelled gun variant; and the 1951/86M, which is modernized with an ATGM launcher system. The modernized variants feature a 7.62mm machine gun instead of an autocannon, while the engineering and SPG variants lack either.

Service History
The original variant of the vehicle was considered underpowered, even for its time, but budget issues and the general weak stance of the military socially made spending on upgrades and refits difficult. Later variants brought the Bataís to par with competing APCs in terms of speed and horsepower, however. The original armament was gradually replaced with a turret ring allowing for a .8" cannon to be installed, with the machine gun being optional as a commander's pintle weapon. - ood
Later variants of the Bataís became respected additions to the military's arsenal (in sharp contrast to the -2 Model), and in combat proved effective at their role as a dedicated transport and light support vehicle; still, the design was never meant to incorporate many of the systems later added, which made maintenance increasingly more complex.
The Bataís was replaced in its role as an APC by the Capall 2002-1 (eng. Horse/Steed) in 2004, but remains in service abroad and as a 'filler' transport vehicle for rear-line support staff. The Capall takes many of its design notes from the Bataís but is designed with the many later technological advances retrofitted into the 1962-2 in mind.
