The Ukrainian company Inguar Defense has shown a prototype of the modular multipurpose armored vehicle Inguar-3.
As the developer explains, the crew of the 4x4 vehicle is 2 people, the number of troops transported is up to 8 soldiers in the infantry transporter version. Ballistic protection must comply with the 3rd level according to the STANAG 4569 standard (resistance to fire with 7.62 x 51 mm cartridges from a distance of 30 m); the engine compartment has an additional reservation. The bottom must withstand the detonation of the TM-62 mine.
The cabin should be made of armored steel and aluminum, which is designed to improve the absorption of kinetic energy in the event of a hit and reduce the weight of the machine.
The power plant is represented by a Deutz engine with a capacity of 356 hp, which is connected to an Allison automatic transmission. The machine is equipped with a centralized tire pumping system, and they themselves are equipped with RunFlat liners.

A set of day and night vision cameras is responsible for situational awareness, allowing the driver to conduct circular surveillance. BA also has an automatic fire extinguishing system, air filtration and a winch with a lifting capacity of 12 tons.
A rotary machine gun turret or various types of remotely controlled combat modules or turret systems equipped with, for example, a 30 mm cannon can be placed on the roof.
Inguar-3 should become a platform for the creation of numerous specialized variants, for example, the Brimstone self-propelled rocket launcher or the 122-mm MLRS. It is possible to expand the database to a 6x6 modification.
