Starting in 2022, Ukraine has been receiving Canadian Roshel Senator armored vehicles in both APC and MRAP variants, with the total number exceeding 2,000 units by the end of 2025

As of December 2025, Ukraine has received more than 2,000 Roshel Senator armored vehicles from Canada. This is a substantial achievement that greatly reinforces the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This figure was announced by Roshel CEO Roman Shimonov in response to a question from a user on X social network. He also posted a video illustrating the vehicle's ability to protect the crew during a drone strike.

It is worth noting that reports from the summer indicated that by mid-July 2025, more than 1,800 armored vehicles had already been delivered. In other words, at least 200 units were delivered over a 4–5 month period, though the real number may be higher due to the lack of precise data.

It should be noted that Ukraine began receiving Roshel Senator vehicles back in 2022 as part of military aid. Initially, these were standard "police" APC models built on the popular Ford F-550 chassis, commonly used in this class of vehicles.

Later, based on lessons learned from Ukrainian military use, a new MRAP variant was created. It received various improvements, including enhanced protection, especially against mines.

This year, Roshel also introduced a new model built on the chassis of another American pickup, the Ram 5500. It seems to have entered mass production, as it was spotted in November 2025 during a transfer to Haiti.

The production of Canadian armored vehicles is currently localized in Ukraine, although the scale of operations is unclear. In other words, some of the supplies may also be contributing to the Ukrainian economy.
