The '''CAV-34 Mantis''' is a tracked infantry fighting vehicle designed and produced by [[Xianzai Arsenal]] for the [[Supreme Army of Chilokver]] (SAC). The Mantis is an evolutionary redesign of the [[CAV-32 Siafu]], itself a Chilokveri variant of the [https://atlas.miraheze.org/wiki/Acerria Acerrian] [[PbMC-2|PbMC-2 infantry fighting vehicle]]. The vehicle was designed to provide combat performance equal to that of contemporary IFVs such as the [[SPz-90]], while maintaining the same mobility as the Siafu. The Mantis is also the first fully digitalised armoured fighting vehicle to enter service with the Supreme Army.

The CAV-34 Mantis is a tracked infantry fighting vehicle designed and produced by Xianzai Arsenal for the Supreme Army of Chilokver (SAC). The Mantis is an evolutionary redesign of the CAV-32 Siafu, itself a Chilokveri variant of the Acerrian PbMC-2 infantry fighting vehicle. The vehicle was designed to provide combat performance equal to that of contemporary IFVs such as the SPz-90, while maintaining the same mobility as the Siafu. The Mantis is also the first fully digitalised armoured fighting vehicle to enter service with the Supreme Army.
