Full Specifications

Lynx KF41 Infantry Fighting Vehicle

The Lynx KF41 was developed to address the limitations of legacy infantry fighting vehicles. It features a modular architecture that allows operators to tailor armor, mission systems, and internal layout based on threat level and mission role.

The vehicle is typically equipped with the Lance 2.0 unmanned turret, armed with a 35 mm automatic cannon capable of firing airburst and armor piercing ammunition. Secondary armament includes a coaxial machine gun and optional anti tank guided missiles such as Spike LR2, giving the KF41 strong anti armor reach.

Protection is a core strength. The Lynx KF41 uses modular composite armor with options for reactive and active protection systems. Its hull design improves mine and IED resistance, critical for modern combat zones.

Digitally, the vehicle integrates thermal sights, day cameras, laser rangefinders, and a battlefield management system. These systems support hunter killer targeting and networked operations.

The KF41 can carry a crew of three and up to eight dismounted infantry. Hungary is the first confirmed operator, with production underway through a local industrial partnership. The Lynx KF41 is positioned as a long term solution for mechanized forces seeking flexibility and survivability.

The Lynx KF41 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is a modern tracked combat platform designed for high intensity and expeditionary warfare. Built to meet evolving battlefield threats, it combines strong protection, modular design, and advanced sensors to support mechanized infantry operations. The KF41 is optimized for survivability, firepower, and growth potential, making it a key option for armies seeking a future ready IFV.
