- Inguar Defence developed a medevac variant of the Inguar-3 armored vehicle carrying two casualties, with a loading ramp and specialized medical equipment.
- The Inguar-3 entered service with Ukraine's National Guard and Armed Forces in 2025, surviving FPV drone strikes and mine blasts with all crew members uninjured.
Ukrainian armored vehicle maker Inguar Defence has developed a medevac variant of its Inguar-3 in a short development timeline. The medevac version keeps the Inguar-3’s proven armored shell but departs significantly from the baseline configuration inside.
The new vehicle features specialized medical equipment, a redesigned floor layout, different mounting points, and a ramp for fast stretcher loading and unloading. The vehicle carries two casualties at a time — a deliberate design choice that prioritizes stable, controlled transport over raw capacity.
On the modern battlefield, the gap between getting hit and getting to a surgeon is where soldiers die. Ukraine’s war has made that reality impossible to ignore — evacuation under fire, across terrain covered by drones and artillery, has become one of the most dangerous and most critical tasks a combat unit performs.
A dedicated armored medevac addresses that gap directly: it gets to the casualty, loads fast, and moves under protection rather than hoping an unarmored vehicle survives the run back. The two-casualty capacity reflects the same logic — two patients transported safely and with proper medical support outweigh four patients loaded into a vehicle that can’t keep them stable or protected on a broken road under fire.
The medevac is one of several variants Inguar Defence has developed on the Inguar-3 platform. The company has also produced a version for troop transport, a configuration for drone operators, and a 6×6 repair and recovery vehicle — a family of variants that demonstrates how deliberately the company has engineered the base platform for modularity across different mission sets.
The Inguar-3 entered service with the National Guard and Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2025 and has already faced a real battlefield test, as previously reported by Defence Blog. According to Ukrainian troops, the vehicle came under attack after being caught in an ambush and targeted by three optic-controlled FPV drones in rapid succession. Despite the precision of the strikes, the Inguar-3 not only survived the assault — all crew members walked away without injuries. Unlike many armored vehicles that ignite after taking a direct hit, the Inguar-3 maintained its structural integrity and continued to protect its occupants. The vehicle also survived a blast on mines. Soldiers involved described how the armored vehicle absorbed the blasts while they remained inside — a combat endorsement that no specification sheet can replicate.
That same platform has attracted serious international attention. As previously reported by Defence Blog, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace unveiled a counter-drone combat vehicle for Ukraine built on the Inguar-3, combining the Ukrainian armored hull with Kongsberg’s CROWS C-UAS Kit — a mobile system designed to detect and engage Shahed-type drones and cruise missiles. The system pairs electro-optical and infrared sensors with a remotely operated weapon module mounted on a raising mast, giving the crew improved field of view and the ability to track low-altitude threats. The vehicle was presented during a visit to Norway by a Polish delegation led by Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, with people familiar with the project telling Defence Blog it was developed specifically for Ukraine with donor funding and was nearing transfer after completing its first round of tests.
A platform that can be configured for casualty evacuation in one build and drone hunting in another isn’t the product of improvisation — it’s the product of an engineering team that understood from the start that modularity isn’t a feature, it’s a strategy.
