Hungarian army to enhance its rescue capabilities
The Hungarian army (Hungarian Armed Forces) is enhancing its search and rescue capabilities by upgrading its helicopter fleet, Defence Minister Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky said on Thursday.
The military has recently replaced its Mi-17 helicopters with modern Airbus H145M aircraft, Szalay-Bobrovniczky said, according to a ministry statement.
In addition to the procurement of the H145s, Hungary is also taking delivery of new multi-purpose Airbus H225M helicopters, the minister said.
The new aircraft will enhance the Armed Forces’ search and rescue capabilities, he said, adding that helicopter pilots and crewmembers have had to acquire new skills to effectively carry out rescue operations using the latest technology.
