Donated Canadian-built armoured vehicles break down often, Ukrainian commander says

That’ll Buff Out.

Ukrainian troops are learning that some of their Canadian-donated vehicles have limited usefulness close to the frontlines, a military official in the eastern part of that embattled country told CBC News.

In a recent interview near the embattled city of Kharkiv, Yuriy Fedorenko, commander of the Achilles drone unit in the Ukrainian 92nd Brigade, said the Roshel-manufactured Senator armoured cars in his unit have broken down frequently.

“It is not designed to drive off-road,” Fedorenko said, adding the vehicles seem better suited to law enforcement than combat.
