Hungarian Lynx-s To Be Equipped with StrikeShield

The consignment of Lynx armored infantry fighting vehicles purchased by the Hungarian army will be fitted with German Rheinmetall's StrikeShield active protection system, the state news agency MTI was informed this Thursday.

"The so-called active protection system will provide the highest level of security available today for the Hungarian army's new armoured combat vehicles, government commissioner Gáspár Maróth said.

One important aspect of the Hungarian army's development program is to enhance its self defense and survival capability. This entails equipping "new, high-value weapon system platforms and vehicles with the most up-to-date self-defence solutions available," he added
