International military exercise involves entirety of Hungarian Armed Forces
Change language:
The Adaptive Hussars 23 international military exercise involves the entirety of the Hungarian Armed Forces, Defence Minister Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky said in Hajdúhadház on Monday.
The military exercise is the largest in Hungary in the last 30 years, Szalay-Bobrovniczky told a press conference before inspecting the exercise, calling it a test for the Hungarian Armed Forces, cooperation with allies and Hungarian public administration.
“This test is going very well so far, but we, of course, have to wait till the end before drawing the final conclusions,” the minister said.
The objective of the exercise is to test the military’s readiness for and response to an imagined situation threatening Hungary’s security, the minister said. It also tests the capabilities of civilian public administration when it comes to troop movements and logistics, he added.
Szalay-Bobrovniczky emphasised the importance of testing the ability to cooperate with allies, noting that several NATO forces were also taking part in the exercise.
The reason why this military exercise involves the “entirety” of the Hungarian Armed Forces is because the armed forces is so small (23,000 active personnel) that in order to have a division size military exercise it must involve the entire Hungarian military. Not good!
A military just big enough to keep Hungarians down when they’ve had enough of the Viktator.
