The Canadian company Roshel has delivered 1,140 Senator vehicles to Ukraine’s defense forces, establishing them as one of the most widely used armored vehicle models in the Russo-Ukrainian war.
However, reports from the frontline indicate that these vehicles are struggling to meet the demands of active combat, with several already damaged or destroyed in the conflict.
A Ukrainian military officer stationed in the eastern region of Ukraine recently told CBC News that the Canadian-donated Senators have proven less effective near the frontlines.
The officer, Yuriy Fedorenko, commander of the Achilles drone unit in the 92nd Brigade, highlighted that the Roshel-manufactured APCs are not built for rugged, off-road conditions.
Fedorenko described the vehicles as better suited for law enforcement rather than active combat, noting their frequent breakdowns and limited off-road capabilities.
“It is not designed to drive off-road,” Fedorenko stated. “The Senators seem more appropriate for police work, such as maintaining public order, rather than military operations.”
