The Roshel Senator is a wheeled
small arms fire.[3] While designed as effectively a highly versatile SWAT platform, for peacekeeping and law enforcement activities,[4] it is capable of light duty as an armoured personnel carrier (APC) or infantry mobility vehicle
(IMV).
Roshel classifies it as an APC.[4]
History
Production began in April 2018, with the vehicle entering service later that year.[4]
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
Russian invasion.[5][6] Some of the donated Senators have been deployed by the State Border Service of Ukraine.[7] In response to the increase in demand, Roshel plans to ramp up production to 1,000 vehicles a year.[2]
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.[8] That same month, the Interior Minister of Tuzla Canton in Bosnia and Herzegovina announced that it had acquired four Senators for police use.[9]
By 10 July 2023, defence-blog.com reported that 550 Senators have been delivered to the Ukrainian Armed Forces [10]
As of 5 November 2023, it has been visually confirmed that 4 units were destroyed, 2 damaged and 2 were captured by Russian forces [11][12]
On October 21, 2023, Ukraine took delivery of another batch of Senators, having a total of 750 Senators.[13]
On 21 December 2023, the 1000th Senator had been delivered to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.[14]
