Hungary has announced the construction of a military base in Szolnok, dedicated to special operations, considered the most advanced structure of the Hungarian Army. The Minister of Defense, Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky, emphasized the importance of this investment, which amounts to 59 billion forints (approximately 156 million euros), mentioning that the funds have been allocated for the development of the Hungarian armed forces, not for external conflicts.
