Roshel Senator
The Roshel Senator is a wheeled military armoured car produced by Roshel of Canada, based on a Ford F-550 chassis. As an APC, it is designed to protect against small arms fire. While designed as effectively a highly versatile SWAT platform, for peacekeeping and law enforcement activities, it is capable of light duty as an armoured personnel carrier (APC) or infantry mobility vehicle (IMV). Roshel classifies it as an APC. History
Production began in April 2018, with the vehicle entering service later that year. In 2020, during the Crew Dragon Demo-2 test flight, Senators were used to defend astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley. In 2022, many newly built Senators were shipped to Ukraine as part of military aid packages to the Ukrainian government during the Russian invasion. Some of the donated Senators have been deployed by the State Border Service of Ukraine. In response to the increase in demand, Roshel plans to ramp up production to 1,000 vehicles a year. This was the first time the vehicle was used for combat. In January 2023, Canada announced an aid package to Ukraine worth $90 million CAD (US$67.3 million) for 200 Senators. That same month, the Interior Minister of Tuzla Canton in Bosnia and Herzegovina announced that it had acquired four Senators for police use. By 10 July 2023, defence-blog.com reported that 550 Senators have been delivered to the Ukrainian Armed Forces 

As of 15 August 2023, it has been visually confirmed that 3 units were destroyed, 2 damaged and 2 were captured by Russian forces 

On October 21, 2023, Ukraine took delivery of another batch of Senators, having a total of 750 Senators. Operators
