==Description==
The '''Svantovit''' infantry fighting vehicle is designed for use with second-line units to deliver a [[Dictionary#P|Point]] of [[Elemental]]s to the battlefield. Since [[BattleMech]]s do not have handholds for [[battle armor]] like [[OmniMech]]s do, the Svantovit was modified from its original form to be able to carry five tons of cargo, enough for a full Elemental Point. This Svantovit is a swift hovercraft, capable of attaining speeds up to 162 km/h. The drawback of the compact [[combat vehicle]] is that it is only protected by three tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, so it must use its speed to avoid being hit.<ref name=TRO3060>''Technical Readout: 3060'', pp. 48-49, "Svantovit Vehicle Profile"</ref> 

==Weapons and Equipment==
In addition to carrying [[infantry]], the Svantovit is designed to support those same troops. At long range it can contribute fire in the form of paired [[Type V "Longbow"]] [[LRM-5]]s, which can also be fired indirectly. Twin [[Pattern J2]] [[Streak SRM-2]]s are mounted in a turret that gives them a full 360° field of fire, while the sides are protected from infantry by a [[Series IX]] [[Machine Gun]] on each side.<ref name=TRO3060/>

==Variants==
*;Original : The original Svantovit was designed during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] to carry a platoon of unarmored infantry. The vehicle has only three tons of cargo space. The vehicle's weaponry includes a pair of [[LRM-5|LRM-5 Launchers]] mounted in the front. For anti-infantry defense, the vehicle has been given a single [[Machine Gun]] on both sides of the vehicle. Mounted in the vehicle's turret are two [[Streak SRM-4|Streak SRM-4 Launchers]].<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged‎'', p. 73 - Stats for the original Svantovit and its BV2 numbers. Variant is noted being called Original.</ref>  BV (1.0) = 737<ref name=BV1 />, BV (2.0) = 889

*;ATM / Masada : This Svantovit is a [[Jihad]] era variant, which has been nicknamed the ''Masada''. While its armor protection remains the same as with the original, all other things have been changed.  The Svantovit's fusion engine is swapped out with a weight-saving [[XL fusion engine]]. This allows for the vehicle's [[Infantry Bay]] to be increased to 5 tons, allowing for Battle Armor travel in it.  Mounted on the turret are a pair of [[AP Gauss Rifles]] and an [[ATM-9|ATM-9 Launcher]] which has 7 tons of standard, High-Explosive & Extended Range missile ammo.  Also, 2 tons of ammunition have been allotted to the AP Gs. = BV (2.0) = 988<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged‎'', p. 72 - Jihad era Svantovit.</ref>

==Notes==
* In German products, the unit's proper name was translated to '''''Swantowit'''''.
