Kajári said Hungary will contribute 80 personnel and four Gripen fighter jets to the mission, alongside Spain and Italy.
He emphasized that maintaining an air presence along NATO’s eastern flank is not merely a military operation but carries strategic significance, demonstrating shared responsibility among alliance members.
Kajári noted that Hungary’s Gripens are serving not only to protect Hungarian airspace but also the wider region.
He highlighted that the jets have safeguarded Slovenian airspace for more than a decade and, since 2024, have extended their role to include the protection of Slovakia and Croatia.
