Speaking at the opening event of the 29th Börgönd Airshow, in central Hungary, the minister said that the Hungarian Armed Forces had brand new rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft, adding that a new fleet of Airbus helicopters had been set up. He noted that four combat fighter-bombers had been added to the Gripen fleet, and just a few days ago the KC-390 military cargo plane of the Brazilian Embraer factory had arrived.
Hungary will take delivery of a batch of new jet propulsion training aircraft next year and the most modern, world-class air defence equipment would be gradually put in use, Szalay-Bobrovniczky said.
