A Hungarian airport has been placed under military protection, with two helicopters taking over air defence duties from Friday, according to a press briefing held on Sunday.
Lieutenant Colonel Péter Freytag of the MH Kiss József 86th Helicopter Battalion explained that, following a decision by the Defence Council, designated units and equipment of the Hungarian Defence Forces, working closely with domestic security agencies, are ensuring a military presence at critical energy infrastructure sites, the Nyíregyháza Airport among them.
“Our primary task is the safeguarding and protection of key energy infrastructure, both on the ground and in the air,” the lieutenant colonel said.
Mission details: Drone defence and unknown aircraft interception
Freytag elaborated that the helicopter unit, arriving from Szolnok, is primarily responsible for air defence tasks, including drone protection and the identification, interception, or possible neutralisation of any unknown or unidentifiable aerial vehicle or device.
The unit is operating with one H225M and one H145M helicopter stationed at Nyíregyháza Airport.
Government moves and controversy
The deployment follows a government decree on 25 February on the protection of energy infrastructure. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated that the halted oil supplies from Ukraine may have political motives, warning that Kyiv could potentially disrupt Hungary’s energy system.
Operations are being directed by Defence Minister Kristóf Szalay‑Bobrovniczky, with the Defence Council including Interior Minister Sándor Pintér, Minister Csaba Lantos, Minister Antal Rogán, and Marcell Bíró. The decree remains in force until after the elections.
The decision has provoked criticism. Péter Magyar, President of the Tisza Party, accused the Prime Minister of fearmongering, while security analyst András Rácz and former Foreign Minister Géza Jeszenszky dismissed Orbán’s claims as unfounded. Jeszenszky suggested, however, that there could be a risk of a “false flag” incident.
If you missed it:
I didn’t know there were Iranian sleeper cells in Hungary. But if Orban is already fantasizing about Ukrainian sleeper cells, why not Iranian ones too?
Tell that to Nord Stream 2.
Oh, you can’t Ukrainian terrorists blew it up. My bad.
But no more oil is coming from Russia, so what’s there to blow up? The useless pipeline? Russia’s been doing that in Ukraine all along! Nobody needs to help them!
“Oh, you can’t Russian war criminals blew it up. Your bad.”
“Tell that to Nord Stream 2.”
I’m afraid Nord Stream 2 won’t understand me. The pipeline doesn’t speak English, as far as I know. It’s possible, however, that Russia has developed an English-speaking AI for the pipeline. I fear, though, that the AI will be useless. Just like when they unveiled the first humanoid Russian robot, which fell flat on its face the very first step, forcing the event to be abruptly canceled without comment.
See, how uneducated you are? I am aware you can’t speak German, but I bet they would’ve understood English as well.
“Nord Stream 2 AG is the Swiss-based project company responsible for developing, constructing, and operating the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline”
But in 2022 went bankrupt, because of Ukrainian state-sponsored terrorism.
Nord Stream 2 should never have been built. Putin demonstrated that when he started cutting off gas supplies to Europe in the run up to his invasion of Ukraine. It will never be used. Putin cut Russian trade off from Europe on a permanent basis. As result Russia will now be a vassal state of China supplying it with commodities.
Mark when someone invades your country blowing up one of their pipelines is called “sabotage” and not “terrorism”. Is that something you never realized?
Lol. I never imagined it would trigger you all just that I state the facts. Were you unaware?
The guy is on trial for terrorism. So you can blew hot air all you want, about Hungary is not in any threat, but the concerns are well founded.
Security is paramount but, Orban is playing the political ticket
