According to information published on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Twitter account on 18 January 2023, Canada will deliver 200 Senator 4×4 APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) vehicles to Ukraine.
On January 18, 2023, the Canadian Ministry of Defense published a statement to announce that will donate 200 Senator Armored Personnel Carriers (APC) to Ukraine. This new package of military assistance responds to a specific Ukrainian request for these vehicles, which are being purchased from Roshel, a Canadian company based in Mississauga, Ontario. This aid is valued at over $90 million and is allocated as part of the additional $500 million in military aid for Ukraine announced by Prime Minister Trudeau in November 2022.
The Roshel Senator APC is already in service with the Ukrainian Border Guards. Citing open source information, in terms of combat vehicles, currently, Canada will have already delivered to Ukraine 39 Armored Combat Support Vehicles (ACSVs) and 8 Roshel Senator 4×4 APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) vehicles.
The Senator is a 4×4 APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) designed and manufactured by the Canadian company Roshel that was unveiled in October 2018 during the AUSA Defense Exhibition in Washington D.C. The vehicle is based on the heavy Ford F-550/F600 pickup truck’s commercial chassis offering a high level of mobility in all-terrain conditions.
