Canadian Shield: Making armoured vehicles for Ukraine 

It's a really smart move to reach out and employ Ukranian refugees. It provides them with not only a means to contribute to the war effort, but also find employment to help them make a living in Canada. Roshel gains labor that is strongly motivated to do their best on the manufacturing line. It's the sort of rare situation where everyone wins.

"Can't understand how one man can do so much." A Ukrainian's love for his motherland could explain the worker's passion.

What a fantastic story of personal conviction and perseverance making a real difference in the world. Well done to all you Roshel workers!

This makes me proud to be Canadian. This proves, once again, the immense value immigrants bring to our country. This man has vision, compassion, and brains. Thank you for choosing Canada to be your home. You honor us with your integrity and abilities.

For these types of entrepreneurs one can only have the utmost respect. Not just for the Ukrainian war side; just overall getting a company up and running and doing this well in just 6 years.

Well Done Roshel and Canada. Greetings from UK.

This just brought me to tears!! I am so proud to be Canadian! Some countries might call us too nice. But this video proves we can compete, we can help our neighbors, and we can fight! I had no idea we were making these vehicles. They are amazing! And if they help to save even one life in Ukraine, it will be worth it! Very impressed with the owner of this company. His vision, his tenacity, his willingness to bring in the Ukrainian staff and get the job done. Brilliant all the way around! Thank you Sir! These vehicles (geez I wish I could drive one!!), the winter military uniforms, the top-notch, hands-on training that Ukrainians have been receiving from Canada since the annexation of Crimea 8 years ago, have all come together to make sure that Ukrainian soldiers stay in the fight and win! And I believe they will. In some ways they already have. This victory in Ukraine is a victory for all free and sovereign countries. The way the world has come together in just 9 months has changed the course of our future. Everywhere. Nobody will ever again mess with Ukraine! Or any NATO country. I think the message is getting across. Russia is still looking for a stepping-off point. Russia can't win. And I am proud that my country is participating in the Ukrainian victory. Slava Ukraine! Slave Canada!

Well done Canada! Fantastic idea and roll-out of military vehicles 1000 a year is a great feat! Slava Ukraini Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

Thank you Canada from the US...lots of Russians don't like this...

Very proud of what you do as a canadian. Thank you

I am a Ukrainiane-American and I can only say thank you Canada for helping my people.

Ukrainians are legends. Their love for their home country is admirable. I am happy canada is helping them.

THIS is definitely what I like to see and hear. I look forward for this company to grow ten folds and be solid as its workers, the determination and zeal of what the owner is doing is absolutely outstanding, I applause his wisdom and tenacity. Bravo!

Yay for Rochel! I'm so proud of this Canadian company. It's so nice to see innovation, dedication and purpose come together and find the ability to make profit for a good reason. Here's to your second bottle of Champagne! With over 30 Ukraineian workers hired you are definitely our inspiration. Bravo Rochel, you're wonderful! ~ The Positive Musicologist

For this type of person with the can do attitude and spirit, there is nothing but respect from me. Thank-you Canada and the workforce of Roshel!

That’s such good news. Way to go Canada. Put this on the news so all Canadians know and can be proud.

Beams of goodness to Roman and his team, saving human lives! He who saves one life saves the whole world (c)

I am impressed by what Canada is doing. These trucks are incredible. These are angels of life at work. Their goal of protecting freedom and those who are defending it in Ukraine is paying off. Union makes strength. Roshel is doing something outstanding.

Wow I had no idea about this! Great story !

I'm a Russian Ukrainian born and raised in Canada and here in Toronto we've been hearing constant military helicopters, seeing transportation of other military supplies going towards the direction of our main airport here. First time I heard the military helicopter truly frightened me. I can't and don't even wanna imagine of how many helicopters, tanks, bombs, and missiles distrub the quietness. A Ukrainian man that was helping me move recently has sons back in Ukraine and they went to protect our land. 20 year old men...I can't even imagine what he feel as a father. But his sons are stubborn, just like every other Ukrainian that I know, including myself. We've just had some friends come here to Toronto. The stories they've told us so far are heartbreaking. Україна переможе 🇺🇦🕊

I love this!! With my ukrainian blood, this means the world to me. When I see a Ukrainian smile I think of my family that is gone except for one.

From Canada I am very impressed and happy that this company is succeeding. Slava Ukraine. I'm sure this man wears Putin's black list badge of honor with pride.

Bravo For Canada. Proud to be Canadian and Supporting Ukraine!

This is a amazing piece of work, so glad its helping the soldiers in the field.

Very very happy to learn Canada with the help of these guys is pulling our weight. Good story.

I did 3 tours in Iraq as a mechanic and recovery operator. I saw metal armor sliced through like it was a paper target against bird shot. But the ballistic glass is something I have seen stand up to ALLOT of damage. And it saved my life as well over there. If I hadn't modified my recovery vehicle a week earlier to mount ballistic glass panels to the front of my drivers hatch. I would have died over there when my escort vehicle hit a mine. Ballistic glass will stop allot of things that metal armor simply fails at. But RPGs still go right through obviously lol. I wish we could make vehicles completely out of the stuff. Its crazy how strong glass can be against impacts you see on a battlefield.

Some "feel good" news - so very welcome! Respect to this Canadian manufacturer.

love this story, very impressive that they can make such a tough vehicle from a civilian chassis. Slava Ukraine!

Awesome guy and awesome job this company is doing! Slava ukraine! God bless Canada 🇨🇦 🇺🇦

I liked this report much. It made me smile and feel happy. Thank you to that Company & its owner. Thank you, Canada. Glory to the so brave Ukrainians!

This man is a legend. Great for Canada.

Thankyou Canada for helping Ukraine 🇺🇦 Godspeed and strength to Ukraine 🇺🇦 prayers from Alaska

Very inspiring! I love these guys! Long live Ukraine. Long live Canada!

You are doing a truly amazing job here and your company is really inspiring. I love the fact you hired Ukrainians who can contribute their own way to helping their country from Canada. 💪 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇺🇦

Thank you Canada for your support of Ukraine!!

I am proud to be a Canadian. I salute Roshel.

This is awesome. Proud of Canada.

God Bless Canada .

My Ukrainian wife and her relatives (6 live in Ontario) thank you for supporting Ukraine.

The Canadian Shield has an ammunition-deflecting shell and powerful tracking and attack powers.

I send food every 2 weeks even the smallest things matter. maybe that extra bag of Rice/Pasta or can goods May not seem like a big deal to us. But to them its life or death. Even When we are Going thru economic issues we still find it in us to help. Keep it up fellow Canadian's so glad to see other's trying to Help as best as they Can.

Thats awesome. I hope mainstream shows this.

Retired Military vet. Thanks Canada! Proud to be your neighbor. Jim USA

Thank you in behalf of all Ukrainians for what you are doing guys. Glory to Canada !!! God blesses you !!!

OMG, what an excellent quality. Way to go Roshel, way to go Canada 🇨🇦!

This is someone and something that really makes us Canadians proud.

The trophy is the land, you can rebuild and many in this world will help you. I am not surprised by this, Canadians have done much for the Ukrainian people, they have been training them since 2015.

These types of vehicles have been popular for some time, but the way the company makes these sounds truly unique. 4:53 I am not sure I have ever seen vehicles like this get "tested" against near missile or shell hits. Mostly against anti-material weapons or IEDs... this is impressive if so. No injuries from a hit like that, where fatalities would likely otherwise be expected is impressive.

Badass job Canada. Ukrainians & Canadians together are showing how to do this right. Canada always punches above weight level. This is heavyweight help. Thanks. Slava Ukraine & Canada.

Impressive; thank you all for providing just a small piece of protection for the hero's of Ukraine. Slava Ukraine...

Glad to be Canadian and glad we can help in such a big way to save lives.

A modest man with a great vision. An immigrant Canada can be proud of. An entrepreneur with his heart on the right place, making 1+1=3.

Massive respect for this company, it's objectives and it's means of achieving those objectives. Slava Ukraine!

As a Canadian I am surprised this truck. We need to invest and provide Canadian army too.

I talked to a guy a couple times, a member of a family that bought a local convenience store/gas bar operation near me, he worked at this outfit and really liked it. He only left because of the family obligation but went back at the first opportunity.

This was one of the most inspirational Canadian business stories I've seen in a long time. As Canada fades into obscurity on the world stage thanks to the clown at the top, it's great to see the business community forging ahead on defense matters. Thanks to reporter Mike Drolet... excellent job!

Very impressive 👏👌👍😀 This man is extremely motivated and as he said, does more than just make money to fulfill his life's legacy. He literally saves people from dieing and poverty. His contribution to society is already well recorded in world history, with more great achievements/inventions to come. Some of the greatest minds were born in the Soviet Union, grew up in Israel and then migrated to North America. Most blessings to this man and glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

Good effort👍👍 Slava Ukraine.

WOW!! LOVE THESE PEOPLE! GLORY TO UKRAINE 🇺🇦 🇨🇦

You see how Important immigrant are to this country bcause that's what we are from all over the world. As a 🇨🇦 I'm very proud to see this. Way to go !!!

Nice work... Its also a good car to bring fast some ammo to crucial positions.

Never knew about this company and the Senator. Keep up the the good work and the good fight. Cheers 🇺🇦🇨🇦

Bravo. You make me proud to be Canadian.

What an amazing job! Tremendous inspiration to run such an enterprise in just 6 years!

A heartwarming story!!! I’m sure there are plenty more out there that we need to hear about. HEROYAM SLAVA 🇺🇦❤️‍🔥🇺🇦💪🏻🇦🇺

Great work, all the best.

A great story. This Canadian feels proud. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

With a big salute and thank you to this Canadian company in producing such armored vehicles to help the Ukrainian military fight and reclaim their country back to their people

Great news, much success... SLAVA UKRAINI!!

Kudus for Canada for the great help it does for Ukraine. "They are under a lot of pressure but they are for people who are under a lot more pressure than we are." Slava Ukraini!

Wow... this makes me glad I'm Canadian. Glory to Ukraine.

Congrats!!.. On helping out Ukraine & others. May these vehicles lead Ukraine to much needed help & Victory!! 🦅

Awesome. Thank you Canada. Respect from México.

This is absolutely impressive stuff!!

This is awesome go Canada! Stay strong Ukraine folks in my town doing a fundraiser for your fighters this coming weekend. More help on the way! People contact your representatives tell them to keep helping Ukraine as long as it takes and do your part and donate just search for verified ways to help Ukraine.

Also, way to go Global News, for both positive and informative Canadian journalism telling us a great Canadian success story. BRAVO! ✅ ~ The Positive Musicologist

Great Job. Pure cutting edge technology. With a great purpose in mind. Support Ukraine.

This is flat out rad. Thank you Roman.

Wonderful news, proud of the work our people are doing. Would be nice to see the CAF use modern equipment like these.

Very proud Canadian Ukrainian heritage, you rock

had me at higher percentage of Canadian parts

It's people like you that make this country great.

Thanks for helping Ukraine! We are really thankful for all your support!

Proud to be a Canadian..... 🇺🇦

Shout-out to those working at this company. You're amazing.

Warms my heart! Right on Mr. Shimonov!

I met a Ukrainian nurse the other day at the hospital for my friend who was getting treated for cancer, she was an angel 😇 and she worked harder then 5 people easily. Every patient was amazed at the rate she was being able to help everyone and with a smile 😊 on her face and always making sure all her patients were happy and satisfied with her service. We all marveled at her character and we all told her how much she impressed everyone and how amazing she represented her people and country in America 🇺🇸. She was an absolutely sweetheart but extremely intelligent, she said her father was an engineer in Ukraine 🇺🇦 in the times of Soviet and she got her energy and wisdom from her father. Either way it was a pleasure to meet someone with some an amazing strong 💪🏻 yet caring character. May the war stop 🛑 ✋ and May peace ☮️ and prosperity come instead. I hope 🤞 all bad leaders will have a change of heart and stop this madness for the sake of the wonderful citizens they have in their amazing and beautiful countries. Respect to Ukrainian 🇺🇦 people for being so strong 💪🏻

Kudos to this gentleman and an armored vehicle manufacturing company in Canada for supporting Ukrainian fighters! ❗💥🏘🚙⛰🚙🏕🏣🏭🏫🇺🇦✊💪 ⏩🇷🇺👮‍♂👮‍♀🚙🚀🔫💥 Glory to Ukraine!❗🏘⛰🏕🏣🏭🏫🇺🇦✊💪

I love everything about this story, this company and these men. Big fan of 🇨🇦 too.

Great stuff! 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸

Awesome work guys!!! 👏

Well done Canada!

Roshell and Terradyne could make a limited agreement to jointly produce an armoured vehicle. With there combined production....they could turn out a couple thousand vehicles a year I imagine!

Well done Canada - from Caledonia UK > And Roman Shiminov your a good man 👍

I was trained to fire multiple times into the same spot on armored glass or armor. You can’t allow your glass to take fire without getting out of there or get ready for it to open up. It only buys you a few warning shots, it isn’t like armor.

Way to go! This is awesome!!! Looking forwards to the opening of that second bottle of champagne!

I saw a couple of these on the 401 a few days back truly amazing

Amazing machines. This is getting kinda crazy

Any gear we can give to Ukraine is a step closer to victory, Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 💙💙💙💛💙💛💙💛🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

This makes me immensely proud to be Canadian. The work of Canadian Shield providing Ukrainians in Canada with jobs that directly help Ukraine, providing brand-new machines right off the production line to the Ukrainian military fills me with pride and thankfulness that we can accomplish such a feat. Kudos to the owner and employees! If this isn't a worthy cause I don't know what is. Slava Ukraine!
