Canadian War Museum Acquires Type of Armoured Vehicle Used on Battlefield in Ukraine
The museum wanted a battle-used example, but Ukraine’s no-scrap policy led Roshel to donate a fresh Senator MRAP instead.
- On Oct 28, 2026, Brampton-based defence manufacturer Roshel donated a Senator MRAP armoured vehicle to the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, showcasing equipment currently deployed by Ukraine in its war with Russia.
- The museum intended to acquire a vehicle with active service history, but because the government of Ukraine maintains a strict no-scrap policy, they received a new Senator MRAP fresh off the assembly line.
- Roshel has supplied the Ukrainian military with more than 2,700 of its Senator vehicles since the Russian invasion began in 2022, establishing the manufacturer's critical role in the war-torn nation's defense.
- Jim Whitham, the museum's director general, stated that institutions must prioritize collecting contemporary artifacts to preserve history, aligning with Canada's longstanding role in supplying military equipment to Ukraine.
- Future exhibits may focus on cutting-edge battlefield technology used in Ukraine, such as drones, as Whitham noted the importance of documenting these modern advancements in military equipment.
