The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Sarajevo Canton will publicly present its newly acquired specialized vehicles, including Canadian-made armored vehicles, in a ceremony on Monday.
The Sarajevo police have procured three Roshel Senator armored vehicles as part of the ongoing modernization and strengthening of police forces in the canton. According to Sarajevo’s Minister of Internal Affairs, Admir Katica, the contract for these vehicles was finalized last year, and plans are already in motion to acquire two more.
Roshel CEO Roman Shimonov commented on the growing presence of Roshel in Europe, stating, “Roshel continues to expand its footprint across Europe, supporting law enforcement agencies with advanced armored vehicle solutions.”
Roshel Senator Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) are widely used for police operations, providing support in patrol and reconnaissance missions, command tasks, transportation, and assisting special operations units. They are designed for use in a variety of environments and can support anti-terrorism operations and special actions in challenging conditions.
Equipped with B7-level armor protection, the vehicles are fitted with thermal and night-vision cameras, as well as a 360-degree daytime camera system. With a capacity to transport up to ten personnel fully equipped for special missions, the vehicles have earned the nickname “road tanks ready for the apocalypse” among those familiar with their capabilities.
These armored vehicles can also serve as mobile barricades in various scenarios, offering versatile support during public safety operations.
Similar Roshel vehicles have previously been acquired by the Tuzla Canton police and the Federal Police Directorate, underlining their growing role in law enforcement across Bosnia and Herzegovina.
