Hungary to buy IRIS-T aircraft missiles from Germany

Hungarian officials have signed an agreement with the German defense company Diehl. It says that Hungary will purchase from Germany aviation short-range IRIS-T missiles for their Gripen fighters.

This is reported by the American edition of The Defense Post.

Hungarian Defense Development Commissioner Gaspar Marot said that the acquisition of new missiles and the upcoming modernization of the Gripen will allow the aircraft to achieve the highest standards of modern aviation. He added that an infrared homing missile can be used in the most difficult air combat situations, including high overloads. The Sidewinder missile, which is in service with the Hungarian Air Force, does not have such capabilities.

In addition to purchasing IRIS-T missiles, Hungary intends to independently develop a missile weapon extended range and other air-to-ground weapons systems.

The missile system acquired by the Hungarian military is capable of performing launches with the so-called high angular deflection. This will allow pilots to engage enemy aircraft and other targets flying on the sides and even behind the Gripen. This indicates the high maneuverability of such aircraft missiles.

Rocket launchers IRIS-T were created to replace the AIM-9 Sidewinder, which are in service with a number of NATO countries. In the West, they are often called weapons of the new generation.

It would be interesting to look at this.

If you sit for a long time on the banks of the Thames, you can see how the Hungarian nuclear submarine will sail along it.

Don't you understand the difference between a meteor and an iris?

I know the performance characteristics of both products.

Well?
Why then did they ask their original question?

A bullshit question, but the fact that Indonesia refused to buy the Su35x (it jumped in the Yandex feed)
