Roshel (Roshel Smart Armored Vehicles) is a Canadian manufacturer of wheeled armored vehicles and armored fighting vehicles.

History

As part of military aid following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the Canadian government has donated 8 Roshel Senator APCs to the Ukrainian Ground Forces. On 18 January 2023, the Canadian government announced a further donation of another 200 Roshel Senator APCs. By December 2023, Roshel had delivered its 1000th APC to Ukraine.

Controversy

Former company vice-president, Anton Sestritsyn accused the Roshel and top executives - including CEO Roman Shimonov - of bribing Ukrainian official to help secure a $92 Million dollar deal through the government of Canada. Roshel has claimed the government has cleared them after an audit and found no wrongdoing, but as of May 7 2023 the report had not been made available to the public. Roshel is counter sueing Anton Sestritsyn for defamation.
