Ukrainian-made Inguar-3 shields crew, driving on while ablaze following Russian strike

Defense Express reported the information.

Dramatic footage emerging from the front lines, filmed from inside the moving vehicle, has provided a stunning real-world test of Ukraine's burgeoning domestic defense industry. The video, captured by one of the truck's external cameras acting as a rear-view mirror, shows flames engulfing the vehicle's exterior. Despite the direct hit and ensuing fire, the Inguar-3 continued its mission, proving the effectiveness of its design and saving the lives of the soldiers inside.

The incident highlights the vehicle's robust construction, which includes a combination of advanced armor plating meeting STANAG 4569 Level 3 standards and protective anti-drone nets. 

FPV drones have become one of the most significant threats on the modern battlefield, prompting the widespread adoption of countermeasures such as specialized netting and electronic warfare systems on military vehicles.

While no single defense system offers complete protection, the Inguar-3's ability to withstand a direct impact and continue functioning is a powerful testament to the importance of layered defense. 

This event confirms that the new armored vehicle is not just a prototype but is already in active service with Ukrainian Defense Forces, providing a vital, domestically produced capability that rivals foreign counterparts in protecting troops against pervasive battlefield threats.
