Inguar-4 is a Ukrainian 6x6 armored recovery and repair vehicle platform from Inguar Defence, developed as a three-axle continuation of the Inguar-3 family. Public reporting describes its first configuration as an armored recovery vehicle with hydraulic equipment for towing or extracting damaged armored vehicles up to roughly 30 tons, a roof-mounted electronic-warfare system, and mounting hardware for several Ukrainian and Western armored vehicles. The manufacturer presents the broader 6x6 line as a repair, evacuation, engineering, cargo, launcher, and artillery-carrier platform.

Unlinked compatible types

Sources also name Kozak and Gyurza vehicle families, but those terms were left out of hard links here because the public reports do not identify a single catalog variant cleanly.

Recovery Platform Context

Inguar-4 is best documented as a recovery and mission-carrier platform rather than a combat-deployed vehicle. Current public evidence supports its design role, field-test towing demonstration, and compatibility planning, while direct conflict-use evidence for Inguar-4 itself remains unavailable.

Recovery limit

Reporting describes the ARV configuration as intended to recover or tow damaged armored vehicles weighing up to about 30 tons.

Recovery equipment

The repair configuration is described with hydraulic equipment able to lift a damaged vehicle from the side and tow it away.

Platform boundary

Sources connect Inguar-4 to Ukraine's wartime recovery-capability needs, but do not yet document completed operational use by a named side in a catalog conflict.
