Airbus H225 helicopters tested at Várpalota army base

The Hungarian air force will be the first in the world to have its H225s fitted with the cutting-edge HForce weapon system.

Defense Minister Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky said the Hungarian air force will take delivery of a batch of Airbus H225 helicopters in the summer, one of which was tested at the Várpalota army base, in western Hungary, on Thursday. The Hungarian air force will be the first in the world to have its H225s fitted with the cutting-edge HForce weapon system, Minister Szalay-Bobrovniczky said in a video on Facebook. He called the new weapon system “a significant 21st-century development compatible with a digital military force soon to be deployed by the Hungarian armed forces”.
