The Inguar-3 armored fighting vehicle prototype was tested by fighters from the Azov unit in the Serebryanske Forest, where soldiers praised its off-road performance – outperforming platforms such as the Ford F-550 and the Turkish-made Kirpi.

The Inguar-3 is classified as a modular tactical armored vehicle, with separate armored compartments for the crew and soldiers, allowing for rapid conversion into a variety of configurations—including a personnel carrier, pickup truck, or weapons platform.
