The Hungarian army will be armed with German technology. The Ministry of Defense of Hungary has signed a contract with the German company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) for the acquisition of tanks and self-propelled guns, reports the bmpd blog.

Hungary buys German Leopard 2A7 + to replace Soviet T-72М / М1




According to the terms of the contract, the German company will supply the Hungarian 44 ministry with the main Leopard 2A7 + and 24 self-propelled howitzers PzH 2000 of the 155-mm / 52 caliber. It is emphasized that tanks and self-propelled guns should be new construction. In addition, the contract includes 12 tanks Leopard 2A4 from the presence of the Bundeswehr, which will be used as training.

At present, the Hungarian army has only one tank battalion, armed with only 15 active T-72М / М1 tanks, and the only deployed 101 artillery division in the Hungarian army, armed with the entire 12 towed howitzer D-20 of 152 caliber mm .

For the German company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, the "Hungarian" contract will allow to keep the production line for the production of Leopard 2 tanks, because after the implementation of the contract for the supply of Qatar 2017 tanks Leopard 62A2 + and 7 to SAU PzH 24 in 2000, the company did not have concluded contracts with the concluded contracts for the Leopard XNUMXAXNUMX + and XNUMX SAU PzH XNUMX tanks. .

      You know, we don’t know anything about the losses of our T90s in Syria, except for victorious broadcasts and an exposure clip in the forehead of a peter. At the same time, the T90 is a great car. But so many factors affect the destruction of a tank, starting from a distance, continuing partly (board, feed, etc.) and crew experience. Therefore, it is impossible to compare so unambiguously, all factors must be taken into account. And Leo 7 is the worst and most dangerous adversary.

They can make their own equipment, it’s a little expensive, but nobody does cheaper like that, and here at least the local industry will be loaded with orders. In short, they are in the subject.
