“As of today, Ukraine has its own highly armored, highly mobile 6×6 chassis. Inguar 4 is a platform for all kinds of heavy systems. The first version is what units have been lacking so badly: domestic armored vehicles for recovering damaged equipment, or BREM. As the number of mine-resistant Inguar-3 vehicles in units grows, our task is to resolve the issue of their rapid and safe recovery. We have done it. In addition, the BREM has a set of mounts for recovering the most common types of equipment: M113, Kozak, Roshel Senator, Varta-Novator, Giurza, MaxxPro, BMC Kirpi, and others. Given its payload capacity, all the rest as well. I am immensely proud of the entire Inguar Defence team, and I believe we will soon show this vehicle in another version. The most desired one, and certainly the most strategically important,” wrote Artem Yushchuk, CEO of Inguar Defence, on social media.
The new Inguar-4 BREM has the potential to fill a critical battlefield gap that, since the beginning of the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion, has forced Ukrainian motorized units either to leave damaged equipment without protection or to rely on insufficient recovery solutions.
The list of vehicles that can be recovered by the Inguar-4 BREM includes U.S., Canadian, Turkish, and Ukrainian platforms, reflecting the extraordinary diversity of armored vehicles Ukraine has received as part of international military assistance since 2022. Each vehicle type on this list has different weight parameters, towing requirements, and recovery procedures, and building a Ukrainian recovery vehicle capable of meeting all these requirements is a significant engineering achievement for a company that only recently began series production of its own armored vehicles.
Inguar Defence is developing dynamically across several product lines at the same time. The company has launched series production of the Inguar-3, which completed trials in January 2025 and entered service with Ukrainian users (two customers ‒ ed.) in three configurations: the Inguar-3 armored personnel carrier, the Inguar-3 MED medical evacuation vehicle, and a specialized vehicle fitted with the CROWS C-UAS Kit counter-drone module. The latter recently had an informal debut in Norway, as the partner is Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA).
The Inguar-3 armored personnel carrier provided the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a domestic solution at a time when deliveries of foreign vehicles were not keeping pace with battlefield demand. Its deployment across multiple types of subunits has also created an operational requirement that the Inguar-4 BREM recovery vehicle is now intended to meet. The Inguar-3 fleet generates a certain predictable recovery burden when these vehicles are damaged in combat, and having a compatible recovery vehicle to support them eliminates a logistics gap that foreign-supplied recovery equipment, with its own supply chains, cannot fully close.
