The military drill is on the training ground in Várpalota. Hungarian defence minister Tibor Benkő and army chief Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi talked about their experience after they visited it.

According to honvedelem.hu, the defence minister congratulated the soldiers for the successful ability integration practice. He said that in the last 1.5 years, the Hungarian military helped to deal with the coronavirus epidemic, protected the border fence in the South to prevent illegal migration, and served in the hospitals. But they were eager to use military equipment again.

Hungary launched a military development program in 2017 aiming to build a modern, strong and convincing army by 2028

– he added. 

During the drill, soldiers prepare to use Panzerhaubitze 2000, a self-propelled howitzer, which Hungary bought from Germany.

Romulusz Dr Ruszin-Szendi lieutenant general, the chief of the Hungarian Army, said that their goal is to train the future operators of the military vehicles not only individually, but also together in the level of batteries and battalions. He highlighted that the development program had made good progress, and the soldiers did everything they could to acquire the knowledge to use the new equipment professionally. “Artillerymen, tankers, shooters, helicopter and Gripen pilots work to practice cooperation with live ammunition” – he added.

Hungary’s government will discuss defence industry developments at a cabinet meeting at a military base in Hajmáskér,
