Kanye West Was Already a Fan, Now This Ukrainian Car Is Saving People in Flooded Areas in Kherson

Snow, ice or mud, nothing can stop the Sherpa. The car looks more like an armored vehicle than a normal car. It easily climbs objects up to one meter high and climbs slopes of up to 35 degrees. With four-wheel drive and wheels that are more than five feet in diameter, the Sherp is designed to glide through marshes with ease. Crossing a river is a piece of cake: the amphibious vehicle always floats regardless of the depth of the water, so the Sherp seems eminently suited for use in floods.

This is not the first time that Ukraine has rescued victims of natural disasters with this four-wheeled vehicle, Sherp has been deployed several times since 2020. With a length of 3.4 metres, the compact car could accommodate six people, with victims also being carried on stretchers.
