Ukrainian armor maker Inguar Defence has presented the concept of a new infantry fighting vehicle, the Inguar-7, in a post on Facebook. The illustrative render shows a classic-looking tracked armored carrier with an autocannon, most likely of 30mm caliber, and two launchers of Stugna anti-tank missiles, smoke screen launchers, etc., all mounted on a remote-controlled weapon station.
The company does not reveal any detail at this stage, the image is captioned with a laconic "Inguar-3 [another combat vehicle] also was nothing but a render. An illustration. What about Inguar-7?"

These words refer to their previous project. The Inguar-3 was a wheeled Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle made on chassis of fully domestic production. The interesting part is that it was entirely developed on a proactive basis without a contract from any potential customers, from scratch.
Presented in November 2022, it had a modular design and therefore a variety of roles, from an IFV to a carrier of rocket artillery systems. The conventional base tactical vehicle on 4x4 chassis came with a machine gun or a fully equipped weapon station carrying guns up to 30mm in caliber. There were also variants for demining, drone operator platforms, or electronic warfare.
Though the most noteworthy were non-standard multiple-launch rocket systems on the basis of this relatively lightweight platform. Inguar-3 supported launchers for 122mm Grad rockets or Brimstone guided missiles.
In less than 1.5 years since the concept of Inguar-3 was shown, the vehicle was manufactured and demonstrated, followed by successful tests carried out in real combat conditions.
