Aid for Ukraine from Canada will amount to half a billion dollars. Armored personnel carriers will be an important part of the order

On April 11, The National Post reported that the Prime Minister of Canada authorized the shipment of $ 500 million worth of weapons to help Ukrainian forces during Russia’s unprovoked attack. This aid for Ukraine from Canada will cover a whole lot of equipment, but above all, armored personnel carriers.

Armored personnel carriers for Ukraine

The armored personnel carriers, which the Prime Minister of Canada announced, will most likely be the works of the Roshel company, which should win the tender for the delivery of its Senator APC. These vehicles can be used in many different scenarios, as Roshel designed them specifically with law enforcement and border patrolling in mind. According to the company, the vehicle’s exterior has been specially designed with advanced heat and noise insulating materials, providing passengers with an uncompromising level of comfort. The vehicle is fully air-conditioned, which ensures comfortable use in difficult conditions.

Comfort is one thing – the most important thing is protection and in this respect, Roshel’s work also does not differ from the standards. It carries the perimeter armor of the passenger compartment and the engine compartment, which has been designed to provide protection to the CEN B7 ballistic protection level. The base of the vehicle, in turn, is equipped with an explosion protection that protects passengers in the event of a simultaneous explosion of 2 German DM-51 hand grenades or equivalent light anti-personnel mines.

In addition to standard safety features such as perimeter shooting, escape hatches, advanced locks, exterior cameras, crowd control systems, alarm sirens / loudspeakers, emergency lighting, Roshel equips its vehicles with advanced defense solutions that enhance the vehicle’s ability to safely and efficiently fill mission. The available security solutions include remote weapons systems, turrets, escape hatches, video monitoring devices, night vision systems, fire source detection systems, chemical protection units and others.
