Ukrainian company Inguar Defence has announced successful field trials of its latest armored vehicle, the Inguar 3, conducted directly in a combat zone.
The vehicle, equipped with electronic warfare systems to enhance crew protection against threats such as FPV drones, was tested in the Serebryansky forest near Kreminna.
“It is a great honor to be here and test the vehicle in extremely challenging terrain under operational conditions. We thank the leadership of the 12th Azov Special Purpose Brigade and the National Guard of Ukraine for their trust and the opportunity,” the company stated.
Military assessments have praised the new armored vehicle, noting that it outperforms foreign models previously tested. The Inguar 3 is built from the ground up in Ukraine to NATO standards, featuring a proprietary chassis capable of STANAG 3 level protection. This includes withstanding 7.62-millimeter armor-piercing rounds, fragments from 155-millimeter shells, and anti-tank mine blasts. No other Ukrainian company has achieved this level of protection in serial production.
The Inguar 3 boasts high off-road capability with a 45 cm ground clearance. It is equipped with a tire inflation system that allows partial deflation for traversing swampy areas and differential lock, enabling all four wheels to turn during difficult obstacles. The run-flat tire technology allows the vehicle to move even after tire damage. The interior features anti-mine seats, fire suppression systems, and air filtration for chemical attack scenarios.
To mitigate driver error, the developers have installed a smart management and safety system that aids in proper vehicle operation.
During the trials, the vehicle was equipped with an electronic warfare suite from Ukrainian manufacturer Kvertus.
Following the tests, a joint decision was made to develop a new anti-drone system specifically for armored vehicles. The updated system will feature new antennas and casing, integrated directly into the combat vehicle’s interface, enabling use in extreme combat conditions.
