Haiti has received the first Senator RAM MRAP armored vehicles

The Armed Forces of Haiti have taken delivery of new armored vehicles intended to support mobility and security missions as the country continues efforts to counter gang violence and improve territorial stability.

According to military officials, several Senator RAM MRAP armored personnel carriers were handed over on November 8 as part of a government procurement effort.

A military delegation led by Major General Jonas Jean, the deputy commander of the Haitian Armed Forces, represented the institution during the ceremony. 

The vehicles, produced by the Canadian defense manufacturer Roshel, were supplied to enhance operational transportation and provide protected mobility for security forces operating in areas affected by gang activity and armed groups.
