I want a BMP-3 style walkthrough, not "it has 8 seats"

They're not carelessly put together.

Don't forget they are very comfortable

Happy Canada gave some stuff. Also didn't know Canada had anything this high tech xD

Edit: take a joke. I mean I know we are all Canadians but we don't all need to be snowflakes xD (only joking people let's all take a breath!)

Come on. These light armored cars are not by any means "high tech ". Canada has supplied some of our best weapons systems including the 177 model 155 mm long range artillery gun. It has a GPS guided artillery round that has a range of over 25 km, and the ability to hit a 10 meter square target . Ech one of the GPS rounds costs $67,000 Canadian. We have supplied thousands of level 4 military armored vests, and 2 million field ration meals. IN addition we have over 1,000 CF members training Ukrainian forces in Latvia, and the UK. We have also provided drones and cameras for forward observation units.

We don't have a big military, but we're a NATO country that spent more than a decade in Afghanistan.

I feel like your comment highlights Canada’s strong commitment to global security for over a hundred years with out receiving or asking for much recognition (outside of military aficionados )

Nice every bit helps. And these seem quite good for he job with the border guard

If you’re going to infiltrate the Humane Labs compound, you’ve come to the right place.

Are they bulletproof and can they withstand an IED? Remember the crap the USA military gave USA troops in Iraq? The head of the Humvee military project and the Generals who bought them should have been locked in one and sent out into the field (for testing purposes).

Definitely not a big military, but a HIGHLY experienced one.

yeah you’re definitely ex-military lmao

can’t say anything from my own lack of experience but by just looking at the budget for the “new camo program” and then looking at the camo pattern produced, it’s not a bad assessment to say that the P in UCP stands for “piece of shit”

The reports from Ukraine on them are encouraging

https://globalnews.ca/news/9280476/canada-armoured-vehicles-ukraine/

Global News has reviewed videos from two separate incidents in which missiles landed approximately one metre from a Senator.

The tires were a little worse for wear. But ballistic glass and steel withstood the power of the blast in both attacks. No Ukrainians were hurt.

Orest, a sergeant with the Kraken, tells of how he recently came under Russian fire inside the vehicle. “A projectile exploded next to us.” The enforced windshield sustained damage, but all personnel inside the vehicle were unharmed. “The vehicle completely worked as it was designed,” Orest says.

(Not to be confused with Ukrainian Roshens.)

It's more about focusing on soft power. We like being seen as more of a quiet, sober, tempering force next to the huge devouring machine that is the US military. Putting boots on the ground risks angering the wrong people, and we don't necessarily have the resources to openly join a conflict like the US can.

I want a Canadian Roshel. With a maple syrup dispenser for the passengers.

Behold! 8-seat action!

Roshel, Roshel... A young armoured trucks's strange, erotic journey from Mississauga to Melitopol.

Last month there was a news segment in Canada about the Roshel armoured vehicles. They're made by a local Canadian manufacturer that was created by an immigrant, who has hired many other immigrants including Ukrainians to help build the vehicles. Ukrainian soldiers have glowing reviews about these vehicles too.

Global News - Canadian Shield: How Ukrainians are defending their homeland from 8,000 kilometres away

Plus Canada and the USA know we will always have each others backs. No little brother big brother shit.

The only way we could meaningfully help the US is by convincing other NATO missions to tag along.

A friend of mine attended CANSEC last year and was blown away by the tech some Canadian companies are producing. Lots of drone tech as well.

i saw that bit. It was good.

You don't think Canada would send everything if the USA was being invaded? That was the point I was trying to make

Yep it was a joke lol

Yeah it was mostly a joke based on a few navy friends complaining about outdated tech.

Canada sure would, but it would mean very little in the grand scheme of things.

Canada has 68,000 regular force soldiers. That’s 44,000 army, 8,300 navy, and 12,000 Air Force spread out all over Canada. Fort Bragg has 58,000 military personnel in ONE BASE.

Canadian Air Force has 430 operational aircraft. US Airforce has 936 operational F-16s alone.

Canada helping the US in war is like a child helping Messi play football. It’s cute, but only happens to gain their parents (NATO) support.

It’s comments like this that reveals the lack of education in some people’s tiny tiny world. You need to research JTF2 and then come back to this comment.

Lol bud simmer down it was a comment based on my friends experience in the navy. More than that it's primarily a joke xD

The heart is in the right place. But if they've only received five of them (the article doesn't say, but there are only 5 in the pic), then it may have been a waste given maintenance needs.

It doesn't necessarily "mean very little". We don't have a lot of people, true, but we're aware of that fact and function mostly as targeted strike and shock troops. Let the US with its ten times the population field the infantry, send in a Canadian sniper team. JTF2 was the poster child for this stuff in Afghanistan.

I’m not your buddy, guy! K, I’ll cede this, the navy is in a sad state, but it is improving..whenever the new ships are finished (in a decade). Being a former CAF member I’ve never even ridden in a Roshell, relegated to G-wagons and LAV’s or humping it.

Yeah we don't have that vehicle in the Canadian Army. We got some piece of shit from Textron they can't provide parts for that had to be grounded nation wide for its habit of rolling and catching fire.

Edit: Just saw a video of the LAV ACSV we are supposed to get one day being used in Ukraine. They look cool I wonder if we get them anytime soon.

This is great but the U.S. needs to get all these police departments that have surplus MRAPS sitting around doing nothing to donate them and ship Ukraine all of those.

In a CBC article posted elsewhere in the comments it said there were already 100 in Ukraine with hundreds more to come.

The riot control version has a high pressure maple syrup cannon

That's awesome, these will save lives!!!!

And lol it looks like just the Insurgent vehicle in GTA 5 (Bullet /Bomb proof)

Good to hear!

Someone call Doug DeMuro. I’m sure there’s plenty of Quirks and Freatures

But then what will they use to suppress riots when police shoot another black man that they have in custody?

Elbow grease?

That's gold, Jerry, gold!

Well you had a long journey from Milan to Minsk…

Higher tech than the fuckin milcots we still have from 2003
