The vehicle was designed with the experience of using the Senator in the Ukrainian Defense Forces during full-scale warfare in mind.
"You feel safer knowing that there is special protection against Russian mines under your feet," said one of the soldiers currently operating the armored vehicle.
Military personnel and engineers have highly praised the new armored vehicles, with one military expert noting, "Roshel Senator MRAP is a fully war-ready transport vehicle."
Ukrainian experts emphasize that it surpasses previous models of armored vehicles based on Ford.
What is known about the new equipment
The new Senator MRAP features a V-shaped hull designed to minimize the impact of explosions. This construction has a pronounced V-shaped form that redirects the blast wave and shrapnel away from the vehicle, reducing the likelihood of severe injuries or casualties among passengers. Such a design helps absorb and dissipate the energy of the explosion, further enhancing the vehicle's resistance to blasts.
