Canadia armoured vehicle manufacturer Roshel, has announced the acquisition of the
KF411 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle design from Panzer South Africa.

The KF411, now being produced under the Roshel brand, offers advanced protection
for personnel in high-threat environments and incorporates modern defense technologies.

In a statement, Roshel CEO and Founder Roman Shimonov said, “This strategic acquisition
marks a significant milestone in expanding our product line and further strengthening
our production capabilities in North America, with manufacturing that takes place
in Canada and the USA.”

The KF411 features a monocoque body that delivers STANAG 4569 Level 3 ballistic 
protection and STANAG Level 4 blast protection, offering superior safety for military
personnel. Its V-shaped hull is specifically designed to deflect the force of explosions,
providing critical protection to occupants against landmines and improvised explosive
devices (IEDs).

The vehicle’s proven design will be enhanced with smart systems and new technologies
to address the evolving demands of modern defense environments.

“Roshel will enhance this proven design with advanced smart systems and new technologies,
ensuring it meets the evolving needs of modern defense,” Shimonov added.

Production of the KF411 is already underway, and Roshel plans to have the vehicle
available by the end of 2024, with all necessary ballistic and blast testing scheduled
for completion in Q4 of this year. Orders are being accepted to meet growing demand
for the high-protection MRAP, which is well-suited for multinational peacekeeping,
humanitarian missions, and operations under the United Nations and other global 
coalitions.
