The '''Kelpie IFV''', formally the '''Type | The '''Kelpie IFV''', formally the '''Type 2034 FTA''', is a [[Faneria|Fhainnin]]-built {{wp|Infantry Fighting Vehicle}} planned for serial production in the 2030s. Designated a ''Feithicil Troda Armúrtha'' (Armored Fighting Vehicle; a term covering both IFV and APC platforms) under its National Army designation, the Kelpie is the result of a mixed private and state defense industrial design with Fhainnin, Yonderrine, Eldmoran, and Kiravian defense contractors. The Kelpie is intended to be a future-proofed IFV and is the flagship land vehicle of current defense production planning in Faneria, and is intended for sale or production license to Eldmora-Regulus, Yonderre, Kiravia, the Cape, Burgundie, and Ashkenang among other countries. It is unusual among Fhainnin defense contracts in that its official designation, the FTA-2034, is the planned initial active deployment year and not the year in which development will complete. | ||
The Kelpie is designed around the reduced three crew plus seven infantry carried in the post-2014 variants of the [[Dragoon IFV]], one of its main ancestors along with the Eldmoran [[Eldmetall IKaF Lynx]]. | The Kelpie is designed around the reduced three crew plus seven infantry carried in the post-2014 variants of the [[Dragoon IFV]], one of its main ancestors along with the Eldmoran [[Eldmetall IKaF Lynx]]. | ||
