Fresh Graduates Join Gripen Fighter Jets in Defense Forces

The Hungarian Defense Forces Non-commissioned Officer Academy held its ceremonial swearing-in event on Saturday at Heroes’ Square in Budapest, according to Honvélém.hu. The Air Force conducted a parade over the square with M17, H145M helicopters, and Gripen fighter jets.

During the ceremony, Defense Minister Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky emphasized the importance of preserving peace as the number one condition for the country’s survival. He highlighted the ambition of certain forces to drag Hungary into war and stressed the duty and responsibility of the Defense Forces to resist this ambition.

The Minister also spoke about the 303 newly graduated non-commissioned officers, stating that their oath carries significant weight in the current context. With neighboring countries involved in the bloodiest war since World War II, Hungary’s borders under siege from the south, and breakdowns of order in various parts of Europe, constant readiness, vigilance, discipline, and common sense are needed to preserve order and freedom.

Gábor Böröndi, the Chief of the Defense Staff, emphasized the expanding and strengthening capabilities of the Defense Forces and the responsibility that comes with it. The non-commissioned officers must be able to apply, manage, and operate new, world-class military technology.

The ceremony showcased various military equipment, including the Lynx infantry fighting vehicle, the Leopard 2A4 armored personnel carrier, and the Hungarian Defense Forces’ Gidran armored tactical vehicles and Polaris. This event is one of the most important in the military tradition of the Hungarian Defense Forces.

The article also mentions a domestic-developed drone that is set to strengthen Hungary’s air defenses. The jet-powered ProTAR drone was specifically developed for military use.

The ceremonial swearing-in event at Heroes’ Square highlights the dedication and commitment of Hungary’s defense forces to protect the country and preserve peace.
