Hungary increases military spendings in 2023
Change language:
Next year’s budget ensures the continued reform of Hungary’s Armed Forces and will enable the country to bring defence spending up to 2 percent of GDP a year earlier than originally planned, in line with Hungary’s commitment to NATO, the defence minister said on Wednesday.
Hungary’s Defence Fund guarantees that the country will be able to purchase all equipment necessary for effective defence and “restore the prestige of Hungarian troops,” the ministry cited Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky as saying in a statement.
The Armed Forces will prioritise R+D+I, and contribute to a robust economy by boosting the defence industry, he said. In line with NATO requirements, over 20 percent of defence spending will go towards development in 2023, he added.
Hungary is a stand up part of NATO and is not stepping back from getting tactical experience ffor the army and air force as well as being in the forefront of the strategic direction of the alliance.
They shall increase way more the AA defense network for when NATO will come to strike Hungary in a close future.
