The NV-3 (Nárrodat Vovdna 3) is a main battle tank produced by Lappish arms manufacturer Ruoigu and is in service with the Lappland Home Guard as their main battle tank. The name of the tank translates to battle wagon, designated as the NV-3 for being the third tank concept produced in Lappland, despite the previous projects having been abandoned. The NV-3 is the first turretless main battle tank and adjusts its gun elevation by adjusting the hull suspension. The NV-3 is the only main battle tank currently in use by Lapplands armed forces. The hull of the NV-3 was also used for the HV-1 self-rpropelled Howitzer, also in service by the Lappland Home Guard
