UkrInnMash

UkrInnMash is a Kharkiv-based Ukrainian defense-sector corporation publicly associated with specialized equipment, military-equipment maintenance and trade services, and the Kevlar-E tracked infantry fighting vehicle prototype. Ukrainian registry data identifies the legal entity as Corporation Ukrinnmash, registered in Kharkiv in 2003, while defense-industry reporting connects the company to armored-vehicle development work shown publicly from the late 2010s.

UkrInnMash's public catalog relevance centers on a narrow but documented armored-vehicle role rather than a broad serial-production portfolio. Dansk Industri's Ukrainian Defence Council material describes UkrInnMash Corporation as producing specialized equipment and components, including its tracked armored vehicle Kevlar, and as handling repair, maintenance, import, export, and sale of military products, technologies, and services.

The company's best documented weapon program is Kevlar-E, a private Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle prototype adapted from the MT-LB/MT-LBu and 2S1 Gvozdika tracked-vehicle lineage. Defense Express reporting traces early Kevlar imagery to the Arms and Security 2017 exhibition, notes that the project became publicly known in early 2018, and later describes a 2020 prototype and 2021 exhibition appearance with Ukrainian combat modules and amphibious mobility claims.

Public legal-record sources place Corporation Ukrinnmash at 117 Plekhanivska Street in Kharkiv and identify wholesale trade as its registered main activity, with additional business-consulting and market-research classifications. Those registry classifications do not by themselves describe a weapons factory, so the manufacturer context here relies on defense-industry reporting and public event material for the armored-vehicle program.

Kevlar-E

Tracked infantry fighting vehicle prototype

Defense Express and Army Recognition identify Kevlar-E as an UkrInnMash infantry fighting vehicle prototype based on the 2S1 Gvozdika/MT-LBu vehicle lineage, while Dansk Industri describes UkrInnMash as producing its Kevlar tracked armored vehicle. The catalog links this manufacturer profile to the published Kevlar-E weapon record.

Public sources do not identify a current official UkrInnMash website, and one-n spellings can be confused with Ukraine's separate state company Ukrinmash. This profile uses the two-n UkrInnMash manufacturer label for the Kharkiv Corporation Ukrinnmash entity tied to Kevlar-E and keeps conflict-use claims on weapon records.
