"We intend to exploit until it falls apart": Hungarian general praised Soviet-made equipment

The Hungarian army embarked on the path of modernization, acquiring new airspace protection systems, transport aircraft, armored vehicles, small arms weapon... But the military is in no hurry to say goodbye to Soviet equipment, which has shown itself worthily in the service, and intend to exploit it, as they themselves say, "until it collapses."

As Brigadier General Laszlo Stitz explains, the BMP-1, since its inception, "evoked confidence and admiration" among the Hungarian military. It was also highly regarded after the collapse of the Warsaw bloc. But the time has come to replace it with modern systems [new Lynx combat vehicle].

From now on, we will only have to try to squeeze the last possibilities out of the old "iron"

- considers the general, citing Mi-24 helicopters as another example.

Their service life was extended several times due to repairs. They must remain in service until new helicopters arrive. The situation is similar with the An-26 transport aircraft, which, according to the military, "were extremely reliable and good machines." Now they will be replaced by modern Brazilian KC-390s, necessary for logistics support fleet JAS 39 Gripen fighters [leased from the Hungarian army].

The goal [of army modernization] was to end technical dependence on Russia

- the general points out, noting that the exploitation of any equipment, even the most reliable, sooner or later comes to an end.

When Crocodiles fly 50 meters overhead at high speed it is impressive ... I experienced it on my own skin.
Something and this legacy of the USSR is worthy.

Well now addiction Hungarians will be much more reliable than the Soviet one!

Once upon a time, I was fishing. The river in that place is not very wide. And over the water itself, almost touching the tree branches with the blades, a pair of Crocodiles passed. So I scraped my jaw from the sand for another half hour!

[Zoldat_A]

it's time to replace it with modern systems [new combat vehicle Lynx]

A small question of combat use. I don't remember driving inside. If a mine is from above, from the armor, it will simply scatter like peas. There is a chance, and a big one. There is a collective coffin inside. And where to ride on THIS, where to sit?

There is little space on the sides, in front - you will fall on figs from such a slope ... Riding a cannon? Germans don't ride armor - ordnung?

[nsm1]

This armor is much thicker, they ride inside the type.

Yeah ... Apparently - MUCH thicker. Modification KF41 - 44 tons !!! Heavier than the T-72 (41 tons) and three times (!!!) heavier than the BMP-2 (14,7 tons). Not a fig for myself - Combat. Car. Infantry .... And it is positioned exactly as an infantry fighting vehicle. Well, not a tank - with a 35-mm cannon ...

The Germans only had to repeat their "success" of 1944. "Mouse" weighing 198 tons. And Cho - for a tank, German, probably fine ...

I don’t know about the infantrymen - and the Airborne Forces DOES NOT RIDE INSIDE. At least not in exercises, but in war. At the very beginning he said. And this thing for "riding" is not adapted from the word "at all".

[Dodikson]

1) and BMP and TBMP were not made for the Airborne Forces.
2) The sheriff doesn't care about the blacks. and how and what the Russian Airborne Forces drives the German and European customers of BMPs for their infantrymen worries very little
3) on the roof of the infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers in the SA did not go from a good life, but because the armor is cardboard and if you go inside, then when a mine is blown up or hit from an RPG, you are almost always dead. the Deutsche have no problems because of the greater security. they stupidly do not need to ride on top.
they can ride perfectly and comfortably inside the car.

[Pivot]

The armor of any armored vehicle is not able to withstand modern ATGMs, and even the RPG7, not to mention something more serious, from the detonation of a land mine based on a high-explosive projectile with a caliber of 122 mm, not a single armor in the world will save its power enough to scatter any modern armored vehicle to pieces ... Armored infantry are additional eyes that quickly identify the direction of fire and in the summer try to drive inside an armored vehicle or an armored vehicle for at least 20 kilometers.

[Dodikson]

If you are talking about our BMP and armored personnel carrier, then you are right, it will not save you from RPGs, or from ATGMs, or from undermining the OF.
Western TBMPs, especially since they began to be equipped with KAZ, they will be saved from RPGs, and from ATGMs and from the detonation of the OF.
By the way, you can study the practice of using the Achzarites and Namers by the Israelis.

[Pivot]

If a 122mm high-explosive fragmentation projectile of the D30 howitzer explodes 10m from the tank, the blast wave will tear off its turret, regardless of the country of production of this tank. Also with MRAP machines, they are designed to protect against IEDs. Don't tell my slippers about KAZ, with simultaneous firing from 5 grenade launchers, not a single KAZ will save. A properly organized ambush will destroy any ground armored vehicles - only turntables can protect from attack and somehow save. I can imagine how the first and last vehicles are being wiped out in the convoy, infantrymen from armored vehicles equipped with KAZ begin to run out, there is further shelling of the column and the infantrymen are struck with shrapnel from their own KAZ. So KAZ is not a panacea.

[Dodikson]

in the Donbass for some reason did not tear off.
only if direct hit. and I will tell you a secret, in war there are other situations besides some idiot rushing into an ambush. there are offensives, there are defenses, there are positional battles, a lot of things happen.

[Pivot]

The idiots do not ambush the ambush, they organize the ambush along the reconnaissance path of the columns, I will repeat once again in the near future I will lose the means of defense to the means of attack, loitering ammunition is a clear example in the near future, corrected mines will be added and it will be even worse to defend. Positional battles are generally Achtung with a serious artillery attack, all armored vehicles will be mixed with the ground by Mother, an example of the Illovaisk boiler.

[Dodikson]

Do you even know what the BMP is for?
try to decipher this abbreviation and then read about its application.
and try to read what electronic warfare is, fortifications, camouflage and cover, and of countering intelligence.
otherwise all the troops are destroyed as soon as they approach the front line.

[Pivot]

Always the main goal was to destroy the columns on the march, to attack is always more effective due to the effect of surprise, and the level of childish surprise that the defenders give out depends on the preparation of the ambush.

The common mistake of the Young NATO members is the hope for the 5th article of the NATO Charter. "We will stand to the death against the Russians, and then NATO, led by America, will arrive in time and kaaaak we will hit all together! ...."
But NATO as a whole and America specifically, in accordance with that article, must provide assistance "which it considers necessary." And America will consider it MOST necessary, in case of "Russian aggression", a kind word on CNN ....
And Cho is also help. Informational.

Why does Hungary need an army at all?

They will probably soon have to face the most "powerful" army in Europe because of Kuevo's oppression of ethnic minorities in Ukraine. It is not the first year that the Ukronatsiks have been frightening Hungarians and Romanians by the fact that they will not allow separatism, which may well result in an ethnic conflict with subsequent military intervention of bordering countries. It was not for nothing that Budapest, Bucharest and Warsaw handed out their passports there to everyone. At the same time, the option of provocation on an interethnic basis on their part is not excluded, in order to obtain a legal justification for the introduction of their troops into the territory of the independent.

The crew, "tractor drivers", it is so, that it is not sweet. And the landing on the armor - experience shows that there is little threat on the 15-ton BMP-2. Well, a day or two will ring in my ears ...

[Zaurbek]

Nowadays, many events are held in such devices. It is corny, habitability is better, you can go inside for a long time, in normal conditions. Warm, cool, comfortable ... once again, they won't hit the landing force during shelling. And the seats are different.

[Paul]

If a mine is from above, from the armor, it will simply scatter like peas

So it’s peas, but with people (even in the case of young boys) like peas, it can end up in a hospital. On the armor, why? 1. The view from the inside is not the best 2. It's hot in the summer (I didn't go in the winter - I don't know) 3. The armor against a powerful explosion did not pull. It's one thing to ride with a breeze in relative safety, and another to flaunt in bad youth. Actually such stupidity is treated quickly.

[Crowe]

"We intend to exploit until it falls apart"

Then you will have to wait a long time, Soviet technology (especially military) has a huge resource, these are not modern cars with TVs.

[rotmistr60]

the military is in no hurry to say goodbye to Soviet technology

The right solution for the poorer countries of Europe. Why write off something that has worked well and can still serve for several years. Someone (Poland, Czech Republic ...) decided to jump abruptly to full NATO standards by removing Soviet equipment from service. True, he was smart enough to put it on long-term storage, and then sell it to the same Ukraine.

Remembered for the occasion -

A man arrives in a "Zaporozhets" in a car repair shop. Is talking:
- And put me at least some thread of a detail from the "Mercedes"! Not enough for a Mercedes, so that in my car anything from "Mercedes" was.
“No problem,” the mechanic replies. - N bucks and come tomorrow.
The guy comes tomorrow.
“Get your car.” The mechanic says. - The engine from "Merce" was installed.
The man is happy, sat down, started, drove off. I drove about 50 meters, suddenly the reverse gear turns on. I drove 50 meters back, then 50 meters forward, then back again, and so on several times.
The man is terrified:
- What did you give me?
Mechanic:
- Engine. From the wipers.

Anything. From NATO ....

Well, the country is not the richest, the planes are on lease, not bought, so they are inventing all sorts of nonsense, but they could simply and honestly say that there is not enough money for new weapons.

[betta]

I wonder who they now depend on for weapons? By buying on the side, how can you be independent? Well, in part it is clear, to lie under NATO, nothing under Russia.

[Zaurbek]

Mi24 is not a bad option .... It is possible to overhaul both in Russia and Ukraine, avionics and weapons - Russia, South Africa, Turkey, Israel, Europe ... and you can put whatever you want GP allows.

Specifically, NATO stinks, but look at the Hungarians, what they want. I understand you, fearfully - you understand that NATO is a fiction for everyone, excuse the poor. You (to the top) will pay with grandmas there, only he will take what he has done - any living organism lives while it makes its way for itself.
