Ukraine Tests Its Inguar-3 4x4 MRAP with STANAG Level 3 Protection in Combat Zone.

The Ukrainian defense company Inguar Defence has successfully conducted field trials of its latest armored vehicle, the Inguar 3, directly in a combat zone. The tests took place in the Serebryansky forest near Kreminna, a region known for its challenging terrain and demanding operational conditions.

The Inguar 3 is equipped with advanced electronic warfare systems designed to protect the crew against various threats, including FPV drones. The tests were carried out with the support and trust of the 12th Azov Special Purpose Brigade and the National Guard of Ukraine. Inguar Defence expressed their appreciation, stating, "It is a great honor to be here and test the vehicle in extremely challenging terrain under operational conditions."

Military assessments have highlighted the superior performance of the Inguar 3 compared to previously tested foreign models. The vehicle is entirely manufactured in Ukraine, meeting NATO standards, and features a proprietary chassis capable of providing STANAG Level 3 protection. This includes resistance to 7.62-millimeter armor-piercing rounds, fragments from 155-millimeter shells, and anti-tank mine blasts. Notably, no other Ukrainian company has achieved this level of protection in serial production.

The technological features of the Inguar-3 include a set of cameras offering a 360-degree view for the driver, an electronic device module for communication with configurable frequencies, an automatic fire extinguishing system with optical sensors, an air filtration system, and other support systems such as autonomous cabin heating, night vision devices, and air conditioning. A winch capable of pulling 12 tons is also included.

The vehicle is designed for off-road capabilities, featuring an independent suspension system with planetary gears, inter-axle locking, and differential locking of the front and rear gears, along with a ground clearance of 450 mm. It is powered by a Deutz engine generating 356 hp and 1,500 Nm of torque, coupled with an Allison automatic transmission. The Inguar-3 also includes a centralized automatic tire inflation system and 395/85 R20 tires equipped with RunFlat inserts, allowing continued movement in case of punctures.

The Inguar 3 offers significant off-road capability with a 45 cm ground clearance. It is equipped with a tire inflation system that allows partial deflation for navigating swampy areas and differential locking to enable all four wheels to turn during difficult obstacles. The run-flat tire technology ensures mobility even after tire damage. The interior features anti-mine seats, fire suppression systems, and air filtration for chemical attack scenarios.

The 4x4 variant of the Inguar-3 can accommodate two crew members and six paratroopers, making it suitable for various roles, including combat and tactical operations, fire support, medical evacuation, law enforcement, and as a carrier for heavy weapons or cargo. In contrast, the 6x6 configuration is designed for more demanding tasks such as repair and evacuation missions, engineering support, tactical logistics, and as a platform for multiple launch rocket systems or self-propelled howitzers.

To reduce driver error, the developers have installed a smart management and safety system that aids in the proper operation of the vehicle. During the trials, the vehicle was equipped with an electronic warfare suite from the Ukrainian manufacturer Kvertus.

Following the successful 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.
