As the Brigadier General, also the director of the exercise pointed out, this year the personnel performed the tasks mostly at night and logistics and chemical defense were emphasized. According to Lőrincz, these are the areas of expertise that
nobody notices when they are working well, but when a problem arises, they immediately become the most important.”
He added that in the field of chemical defense capabilities, the Hungarian Defense Forces have the necessary level, but the level of capability needs to be increased.
He also explained that for mechanized forces such as tanks or mechanized riflemen, the way in which military equipment is delivered to the area of operations, where fuel and ammunition are obtained and where soldiers get food from, in other words logistics, is also crucial. On the subject of night operations, he also spoke about the different night capabilities of nations, stressing that our country has made great progress in this area with the Leopard 2A4 tanks and the Gidran armored fighting vehicles.
