Walking through his Mississauga, Ont. factory, Roman Shimonov says he’s excited that his armoured personnel carriers will be part of the Ukrainian war effort.Shimonov is the CEO of Roshel Smart Armoured Vehicles and creator of the Senator Armoured Personnel Carrier – a large green vehicle made of certified ballistic steel and 100 mm glass windows.
Last week, the Canadian government committed 200 of Roshel's Senator APCs to Ukraine at a cost of $90-million. Designed in 2018, the Senator starts with the base of a Ford F-550. Then, the walls of ballistic steel and 100 mm windows are added. The Senator also has an in-house designed computer system that allows it to be driven remotely.
"The Ukrainian army needs 200 Senator APC's more than ever. Together we are moving towards victory,” the tweet said.
YourMorning Let hope they are at a cost that supports freedom of choice & not investor greed. The war is all about not repeating why we ended up in WWII.
Would he have done it for free?
And making a hell of a lot of money doing it.
It must be that “military grade aluminum” 🤣
Can't wait for the WW3 edition.
Getting $90MM from the Feds. So it’s more of a job Vs a good deed war effort action
Not very environmentally friendly! Can we not send them electric vehicles? That would be better for the climate crisis
Like on a volunteer basis or is someone paying them?
