The Hungarian Defense Forces have entered the digital world with well-prepared soldiers, said General Gábor Böröndi, Chief of the Defense Staff, on M1 news channel on Tuesday, December 26.
In his annual assessment speech on M1’s “HadERŐ – I serve my country” magazine program, General Gábor Böröndi highlighted that when the modernization of the Hungarian Defense Forces began, they were looking for a type of tank that could stand up to any conditions, and that is how they came up with the Leopard.
Referring to the Russian-Ukrainian war, General Böröndi stressed that the tanks involved in those fights are not considered safe at all, while the Leopard tanks “always come out alive.”

It is not really a tank, but a computer surrounded by steel, with firepower unprecedented in Europe,”
he noted, adding that soldiers serving in this digitalized tank receive all the information they need for survivability.

Today, the Hungarian Defense Forces have the most modern battle tanks,”
the General Böröndi emphasized. By giving this technology to the soldiers, our army has entered the digital world with well-trained “digital soldiers,” he added.
Böröndi also mentioned that Hungarian soldiers today can experience during all their missions abroad that they are as good as any other foreign soldiers, and this gives them support and self-confidence. The Chief of the Defense Staff praised those serving away from home, who can really experience the camaraderie during the holidays.
