A Roshel Senator MRAP armored vehicle, badly damaged and missing a wheel after a blast, was filmed evacuating Ukrainian troops from the front lines.
The Canadian-built Senator, now one of the most widely deployed armored vehicles in Ukraine, continues to extract soldiers under direct fire, even after sustaining heavy damage.
In the latest footage shared by Ukrainian service members, the Senator is seen operating on just three wheels while successfully pulling wounded personnel from the battlefield.
The basic version of Senator, manufactured by Canadian company Roshel and built on a Ford F-550 chassis, offers CEN B7 ballistic protection and is designed to resist small arms fire and explosive fragments. It can transport up to ten personnel, offering both mobility and survivability in contested zones.

Since 2022, Canada has delivered more than 1,800 Roshel armored vehicles to Ukraine. The Senator is now a common sight across the front, serving not only in the Armed Forces but also with the State Border Guard Service.
The company describes the Senator as its flagship model. In a statement earlier this year, Roshel said, “We are proud to support Ukraine’s defense with proven platforms that perform in combat.”
Ukrainian soldiers who have operated the Senator repeatedly credit it with saving lives. One crew member, speaking under anonymity for security reasons, said their vehicle remained operational even after a direct anti-tank mine detonation.
Although some of the donated vehicles have been lost in action, Ukrainian operators note that crew survival rates remain high. That reliability under fire has made the Senator a staple in evacuation, logistics, and front-line combat roles.
