The Lynx KF-41 was delivered at German defense company Rheinmetall's plant in Zalaegerszeg.
Speaking at the handover, Defence Minister Kristóf Szalay-Bobrvoniczky said the war in neighboring Ukraine showed that defense industry developments couldn't be "improvised".
Bjorn Bernhard, the managing director of Rheinmetall Landsysteme, noted that the plant in Zalaegerszeg had been inaugurated just one year earlier.
Rheinmetall Hungary CEO Paul Walf said the plant could turn out over 100 vehicles a year. Headcount at the factory stands over 220, but a further 200 new hires are expected to be made in the coming years, he added.
