Hungary’s air force has increased its fleet of Gripen fighter jets with the addition of two new aircraft, bringing the total number to eighteen. The new jets were delivered to the Kecskemét air base, enhancing the country’s aerial defense capabilities. This acquisition forms part of Hungary’s ongoing efforts to modernize its military equipment. The Gripen is a multirole combat aircraft known for its advanced technology and versatility. The Hungarian Defence Forces have been operating Gripen jets since 2004, and this latest delivery represents a continued investment in the platform. The addition of these aircraft is expected to improve Hungary’s ability to participate in NATO missions and ensure national airspace security.
