Roshel Armored Vehicle Saves Border Guards from Direct Hit by FPV Drone

Soldiers of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine assessed the Canadian-made Roshel armored vehicle.

The video was released by the press service of the Hart Brigade.

The brigade stated that the armored vehicle, which the soldiers refer to as Roshelka, is an indispensable assistant in carrying out combat missions in the Vovchansk sector.

The armored vehicle is used to bring soldiers to and from their positions and to evacuate wounded.

“The Roshelka will easily pass through places where ordinary pickup trucks can get into difficulties,” the brigade said.

It is driven by former ordinary civilians: one of the current soldiers was a freight forwarder before mobilization, and another was a teacher of practical skills.

One of the Roshel drivers said that despite the weight and size of the vehicle, it is easy to drive, especially if you have experience driving large vehicles.

The vehicle’s engine allows for fast travel, but rough terrain can lead to breakage of the shock absorbers, which are easily replaced.

A border guard with the call sign “Sensei” said that the vehicle’s windshield had withstood a direct hit from an enemy FPV drone.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has received 1400 Roshel Senator armored vehicles.

It was also reported that the Canadian company Roshel has revealed details about a new light tactical armored vehicle called Captain.

It has become known that the new armored vehicle is based on the chassis of the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series SUV.

Captain is equipped with ballistic protection level 1 according to STANAG 4569 and explosion protection level 2 according to STANAG 4569.
