June 29, 2018, Ministry of Defense
The development of the military continues - new military helicopters will be acquired by the army
The primary and priority objective of the Government of Hungary
is to guarantee the security of Hungary and the Hungarian people
with a decisive role for the Hungarian Defense Forces.
This is in the spirit of reinforcing the force and developing its capabilities,
with the next decisive step in deciding on the purchase of 20 new helicopters.
According to the Ministry of Defense's announcement,
during this phase of the scheduled implementation
of the Zrínyi 2026 Defense and Democracy Development Program,
a new segment of the Air Force's military technology equipment park
will be developed by acquiring a new, lightweight multi-purpose H145M helicopter.
In the area of force development, the ability to innovate on rotor, ie helicopter capacity,
is an essential factor for the long-term development of the force.
In order to do this, there is a large-scale improvement of already existing military equipment,
but the existing Mi-8 and Mi-17 conveyor helicopters
will soon reach their final deadline for operating hours and systems.
In the first round, the ministry decided to replace them with the purchase of new helicopters
for which they signed a contract with AIRBUS.
Not only does the number of instruments increase,
but a new step in the direction of modern military technology in the order of the Hungarian Defense Forces.
When selecting the tools, the protection of the country was the primary aspect of compliance with operational needs.
It can be clearly stated that the weapon system and other technical equipment
provide all the important tactical and technical capabilities required for us by the manufacturer.
Additionally, AIRBUS provides helicopters with an extended installation,
training and support package for the Hungarian Defense Forces.
With respect to the development of the Air Force,
the Ministry has recently acquired Zlin-type small aircraft
for training pilots and training for other military tasks,
as well as a multifunctional air carrier AIRBUS A 319 aircraft
to enhance the air defenseof the Hungarian Defense Forces.
Air Force capability development has not been completed,
as soon as the small fleets of military fleets are ready to replace existing capability,
courier / reconnaissance tasks can be used for small aircraft
and larger and more powerful and heavy duty cargoand airborne tasks
can be used to purchase so-called "ramp" military aircraft a.
Taking into consideration the special requirements of the military,
the helicopter procurement procedure was preceded by a broad international market research,
in addition to the careful consideration of the professional aspects,
ie the operational and technical requirements.

During the live-fire exercise held in late July 2018 at the Várpalota training ground
(that Airbus uses as a demonstration range for prospective customers
such as Australia, Kazakhstan, and Thailand), Airbus representatives told
that Hungary has ordered the most advanced of the three available HForce options.
It provides the pilot and the gunner with the capability of deploying
ballistic and guided ammunition,
with the gunner using the EOS (electro-optical system)
and the pilot firing guns using the HMSD (monocular helmet-mounted sight and display).
