Canada has sent a new batch of Roshel Senator MRAP armored vehicles to Ukraine, reinforcing Ottawa’s military support for the country amid the war against Russia.
The delivery is part of a package announced in February 2026 that provides for the supply of 383 units of the model, considered one of the main mine and explosive protection vehicles used by Ukrainian forces.
Developed by Canadian manufacturer Roshel on the Ford F-550 truck platform, the Senator was designed to withstand explosions and ambushes in combat zones. Its “V”-shaped hull, combined with reinforced armor, puncture-resistant tires and advanced mobility systems, significantly increases the crew’s chances of survival in areas contaminated by landmines and explosive devices.
The armored vehicle meets NATO protection standards and can withstand armor-piercing ammunition, artillery fragments and blasts equivalent to up to 8 kg of TNT. With a top speed of approximately 110 km/h and a range of nearly 1,000 kilometers, the vehicle also stands out for its versatility, being suitable for troop transport, medical evacuation, command and demining missions.
In addition to sending the vehicles, Canada has expanded its military cooperation with Kyiv by extending Operation UNIFIER until 2029. Since the start of the mission, more than 47,000 Ukrainian service members have been trained by Canadian instructors. According to Roshel, more than 2,500 vehicles from the Senator family have already been delivered to Ukraine, consolidating the model as one of the country’s most widely used armored vehicles during the conflict.
