The international Kecskemét Airshow 2021 to be held on the last weekend of August will demonstrate the significant developments the Hungarian Army, including the ground and air forces, has undergone in the past eight years, army chief Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi said on Wednesday.
Ruszin-Szendi told state news channel M1 that all aircraft currently used by the Hungarian army will be featured in the airshow. Additionally, aircraft used by a dozen other countries will also fly in the Kecskemét base’s airspace during the show, he said.
Land equipment and some prototypes of Hungarian-developed weapons are also planned to go on display, he added.
The airshow’s programme will include various competitions and some of the winners will get a chance to fly with an army helicopter, he said.
