The Modernization of the Armored Combat Vehicle Fleet of the Hungarian Defense Forces in Terms of Mobility
Abstract :
The Hungarian Defence Forces (Magyar Honvédség) have several off–road combat vehicles of different ages and condition. One can find tracked– and wheeled
equipment, such as battle tanks, armored infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, special purpose vehicles, and engineering machinery among them.
Some of these devices are now obsolete, the exchange of the rest is becoming due.
This study looks at the armored combat vehicle portfolio of the Hungarian Defence
Forces, seeking an answer to the question what the role of the mobility of armed
forces is; are only wheeled or tracked equipment needed, or both. I am going to review, on the basis of the main sources of literature, what results have been achieved
in national military–technical life, in the field of mobility, by comparison and an
examination of a selection of military use off–road vehicles.
