Helicopters to be deployed to the eastern border: Orbán cabinet afraid of a Ukrainian attack against Hungary?
Hungary’s defence minister stopped short of spelling it out, but his remarks suggest the government apprehends some form of Ukrainian incursion in the country’s eastern reaches. Péter Buda, a national security expert, and Péter Magyar, leader of the Tisza party, have previously warned that the administration might stage a false-flag operation with Russian assistance in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county ahead of the elections. Yesterday’s Median poll showed Tisza ahead by 20 points, a margin that, if accurate, could deliver a two-thirds majority to Magyar.
Fears of Ukrainian incursion?
To an outside observer, it might appear that Budapest dreads some Ukrainian breakthrough or assault along its eastern frontiers. Though Ukraine remains locked in a desperate struggle against invading Russian forces, Defence Minister Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky stated after the second meeting of the consultative body on critical infrastructure protection that helicopter capabilities are being deployed to the nation’s eastern half. These helicopters, he explained, are tasked with intercepting devices that enter Hungarian airspace too slowly and too low for the standing air defence forces to neutralise.
At a Budapest press conference, the minister also revealed that electronic jamming devices have been distributed in large numbers to defence units. On the Energy Ministry’s recommendation, a list of 20 critical sites has been drawn up, with military deployments organised there; troops arrive on Friday. Today, 40 further sites were identified for police and army personnel, with plans to expand the number in the future. The minister noted that NATO has been informed.
No oil flows for political reasons
“These measures aim to preempt and, if necessary, repel provocative or other aerial and ground attacks on Hungary’s energy infrastructure, thereby safeguarding the essential fuels for our economy and transport, and, through them, the security of the Hungarian people,” the minister declared.
Szalay-Bobrovniczky added that “Hungary, alongside Slovakia, currently labours under an oil blockade imposed by a blackmailing state.” Ukraine has shut off the Druzhba pipeline, he recalled, stressing there are ample grounds to conclude that no technical or operational issues prevent the flow: “a legal obligation for Ukraine, moreover.”
Ukraine blew up Nord Stream, minister claims
The minister recalled that such attacks are not without precedent, citing Ukraine’s destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines. “Why Germany tolerates this, I cannot say; Hungary resists such blackmail,” he emphasised. He further warned that a drone had already breached Hungarian airspace, traversing the entire country, which the then-chief of defence staff, now a Tisza MP, “watched impassively, arms folded.”
Completely staged and made up threat. Only to try and make voters ignore all the massive domestic problems that Fidesz led government has failed to address.
“No, dont think about that every 6 hours a Hungarian person commits suicide, dont look at our devastating healthcare problems – look at Ukraine, they might attack here.”

And any other domestic problem: “No, thats not important – look at Ukraine and Brussels. They are the threat”.
Unbelievably dirty and desperate politics and lies from Fidesz.
Exactly, always they do this.
Redirect peoples’ attention to something else.
They want no one speaking of their corrpution!
But I can absolutely imagine him coming up with some lunatic theory, invoking Hungarians living beyond the borders, and then brushing off all norms, rules, and laws — and kicking over the bucket.
I dont think the mental midget would do something so stupid. If he did the Russians will finish them. ukraine can hardly wage one war let alone start another. Also dont forget Hungary is part of NATO. US will crush him.

It’s Fidesz theatre all the time now until the election and this theatre is a Vladimir Putin production. I am actually optimistic that most Hungarians can see what it is. Putin had Russians training operatives in camps in Serbia and Bosnia whose job was to destabilize Moldova with violent actions prior to the election they had September 2025. Russia was also involved in hybrid attacks on Romania prior to its’ election. Russia worked hard to generate an anti-EU and anti-NATO narrative painting the West as a colonial power. Orban has been pushing this narrative as part of the Russia game.
Not surprising for a government that is owned, lock stock and barrel, by Putin and his henchmen. What is surprising is how our Prime Minister reveals more of the depth of that ownership every day. What’s coming tomorrow? A “Special Military Operation” into Transcarpathia?
A former Estonian parliament member once described Vladimir Putin as being like a pigeon that lands in the middle of the chess table, knocks over all the pieces, craps on the board, and then struts around like he has done something. Could it be that he actually meant Orban Viktor, not Vladimir Putin? Who is the one person that Orban Viktor can work with instead of messing up the chess board? His mentor, of course.
I’m deeply ashamed, as a Hungarian, that people lump me together with Orbán; that all of Europe is laughing at us; and that my child has to leave the country if they want to live with dignity and freedom. For my generation it hardly matters anymore — we messed it up by letting this corrupt state run like a gangster outfit for 16 years. I can endure that. But what I will never, ever be able to forgive Orbán for is that he has made life in Hungary impossible for the next one or two generations.
