Roman Shimonov

CEO Roshel Inc.

Day 3 - Major Programmes - 22 JAN

The modern battlefield is being reshaped by persistent drone threats and widespread land mine use, which are now primary design drivers for armored vehicles
Ukraine has become the most demanding real world testing environment for armored platforms in recent decades
The learning curve from this environment is exceptionally steep, and the speed at which lessons are generated is unprecedented
Roshel operates one of the largest active fleets of armored vehicles in Ukraine, which provides continuous real time operational feedback from daily use
This feedback loop allows Roshel to introduce engineering changes directly at the production level without long development delays
One of the key lessons from Ukraine is that cost effectiveness must be linked to survivability, availability, and repairability, not only acquisition price
Roshel’s platforms have evolved through direct operational use, allowing rapid adaptation to changing threat profiles
Parts commonality and global availability have proven critical for sustaining fleets under high tempo operations, something Roshel designed into its platforms from the start
Rapid delivery is now a strategic requirement, and Roshel’s production model has shown that urgent timelines can be met when supply chains are structured correctly
Europe has an opportunity to move out of a theoretical planning environment and apply real operational lessons learned from Ukraine, including those derived from platforms currently in large scale use
