PHOTOS, VIDEO: Hungary’s brand new infantry fighting vehicles are displayed in Budapest!

You may check out the brand new infantry fighting vehicles of the Hungarian Defence Forces today at Heroes’ Square in Budapest from 8 am to 4 pm.

Based on the report of the Hungarian News Agency (MTI), the brand new Hungarian Lynx KF41 vehicles built by the Rheinmetall will be presented today in Budapest. Furthermore, you can check out the “ARV Buffalo”, an armoured recovery vehicle of the German company.

According to Hungary’s Ministry of Defence, the vehicles will be displayed at the Heroes’ Square between 8 am and 4 pm. In addition, those interested in becoming soldiers may get information at the recruiting centre that has also set up its tent on Budapest’s iconic square.

Lynx vehicles are operated by three people: the driver, the operator and the commander. The Lynx’s biggest advantage is that it can adapt to the battlefield and the task. For example, it is capable of carrying out peacekeeping missions. But it can also be used in battles fought in populated areas, asymmetric operations and traditional fights against motorised units.
