Ukrainian Ambassador Visits Sentinel

The Sentinel 830R received an enthusiastic thumbs up from His Excellency, Vasyl Myroshnychenko, Ambassador of Ukraine.

We were excited to host the Ambassador this morning to announce that a consignment 830R RHIBs will be sent to Ukraine as part of the $100 million military assistance package recently announced by the Australian Government.

The Ambassador was given a tour of the Sentinel Boats workshop to inspect the boats that are already under construction, before taking to the water to experience the performance of the 830R first-hand.

The speed and agility of the 830R platform is expected to be used across a range of mission profiles, from riverine operations in Ukraine’s complex waterways, through to open-sea boarding operations.

In the words of Ambassador Myroshnychenko: “These boats will be used by the special operations units for various amphibious missions and assignments. They are fast, they are durable and they will be very handy and helpful for whatever we need them to do.”

The Sentinel team is honoured to have this opportunity to assist the Ukrainian Armed Forces in their ongoing efforts to protect their sovereignty.
