Renewable Army, rising budget

We need to renovate existing equipment, purchasing new equipment at the same time, of course, too.

One of the first step in the development of the armed forces extracted the outdated Yak-52 trainer kisrepülőgépeinket the decommissioned and replaced them were purchased new, more modern, Zlin type of training, reconnaissance aircraft.

The helikopterflottánkból renovation of four Mi-17 transport helicopter has been started last year, but the government also decided that the Mi-24 combat helicopters operating time is extended until 2023-2024.

We did not tell either your new or like-new, modern procurement of helicopters, but everyone knows well that this requires serious financial expenses.

Here are the problems:

#1: All our pilots were tansferd to Mi-8/17, Yak-52 or An-26 in the years. No pilot is capable of flying the type at the moment.
#2: All mechanics and armorer (hope I am using the a good word for this - sorry) left the air force or transferd to a different garrison. I personally know someone, who is now a mechanic for the C-17 at Pápa Air Base.
#3: All wepons, missiles, STURM rockets, guns were sold for scrap prices on the market, several of these were went to Africa or Ukraine or destroyed.
#4: Very limited spare parts, since almost all the rotor blades and engines were sold as well.

And also...a patch was made as well a few years ago (from my collection): http://www.imagebam.com/image/46127c542083944

Yes it is a more than a 1 year story, but it came realisation a month ago. 6 Hind will go this year at two different times, no knews will they be the P or V versions. Also, the hungarian website you quoted is higly, way higly government media, and that article itself quoted an info, that was accidentally came from a government official last year about 12 Hind overhaul. Still no official statement that 12 will go and com,e back from Russia, now what is sure, is 6 Hind all together at the moment.

They are inside Szolnok air base, maybe from the east you can make photos.
But soon will be moved to Kecskemét for the transfer.

We where there earlier this year so I want to know if it's possible that we saw the stored Hinds from the outside.
We saw a lot of them on a dispersal but are these the ones that are being updated?

Since I dont know 100% sure which versions will be updated, all I can say rumors say the ex-DDR, P versions will go to Russia, they still have their old DDR camo, except two, the 335 and the 336 tese two likely will go.

Can you post some photos here or in private to see what you saw from the east? Never been there. Also maybe I can confirm a few things for you.

Thanks that you want to help me, unfortenately we didn't take pictures from them.
We even didn't try to read them because we thought those will never fly again......
