- Themes Capability development
- Music The following from composer Franz Liszt: Piano Concerto No2 in A 6 Allegro Animato DG Instrumental, Consolations S172 No 1 in E major DG Instrumental, Piano Concerto No2 in A 1 Adagio DG Instrumental, Piano Concerto No1 in E flat 2 Quasi Adagio DG Instrumental, Annees De Pelerinage Italie 6 Sonetto 123 Del Petrarca DG Instrumental, Piano Concerto No2 in A 1 Adagio DG Instrumental, Piano Concerto No2 in A 3 Allegro Moderato DG Instrumental.
Synopsis
Hungary has invested heavily in a modern tracked fleet as part of its wider defence modernisation effort, ordering more than 200 Lynx infantry fighting vehicles from arms manufacturer Rheinmetall back in 2020.
In response to growing threats to security, Allied Leaders decided at the NATO Summit in The Hague in 2025 to significantly increase investments in defence, reaching 5% of GDP by 2035. This decision ensures the Alliance will keep protecting its one billion people now and in the future with enough forces, resources and capabilities.
Investing in modern capabilities plays an essential role in future-proofing NATO’s defences. The new Lynx vehicles, due to be adopted by other Allied armies as well, are now contributing to strengthening NATO’s defences along its eastern flank.
This video takes you inside this modern vehicle, through the roles of a commander, gunner and driver, and shows why upgrades like this matter for NATO’s readiness and collective defence.

THE HUNGARIAN LYNX
HUNGARY IS THE FIRST NATO ALLY TO
FIELD THE NEW LYNX INFANTRY FIGHTING VEHICLE
THIS INVESTMENT IN MODERN CAPABILITIES IS HELPING TO STRENGTHEN NATO’S DEFENCES ON THE EASTERN FLANK
—SOUNDBITE IN HUNGARIAN (SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH) — SSGT TAMÁS DÁNIEL KORPA, Commander, Hungarian Lynx fighting vehicle
“Modernisation is important because with new equipment we can carry out our missions faster and more effectively.
The Lynx crew consists of three people. The commander, the gunner and the driver. It can carry up to eight other people.
It’s not a tank, it’s an armoured fighting vehicle. The difference is that tanks do not have space to transport infantry. The Lynx’s main role is to transport infantry and support them in battle.
—SOUNDBITE IN HUNGARIAN (SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH) — PVT MÁTÉ BURINDA, Hungarian Infantry Squad Leader
“When the ramp opens, everyone’s adrenaline is very high. Our infantry fighting vehicle ensures our protection. As an infantry soldier, it is very good for our morale that such a fighting vehicle supports us.”
—UPSOT IN HUNGARIAN (SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH) — SSGT TAMÁS DÁNIEL KORPA, Commander, Hungarian Lynx fighting vehicle
“Commander is in.”
—SOUNDBITE IN HUNGARIAN (SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH) — PVT KRISZTIÁN BENKŐ, Driver, Hungarian Lynx fighting vehicle
“I’m ready. Can I start?”
—UPSOT IN HUNGARIAN (SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH) — SSGT TAMÁS DÁNIEL KORPA, Commander, Hungarian Lynx fighting vehicle
“Start the engine.”
—SOUNDBITE IN HUNGARIAN (SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH) — PVT IVÁN BÉLA KIRSCHNER, Gunner, Hungarian Lynx fighting vehicle
“Our brigade’s logo symbolises the strength and protection provided by the armour. This also describes us as Lynx operators. I am proud to serve my country and proud to serve alongside people with whom I have formed very close bonds.”
—SOUNDBITE IN HUNGARIAN (SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH) — PVT KRISZTIÁN BENKŐ, Driver, Hungarian Lynx fighting vehicle
“The vehicle weighs 45 tonnes, but it feels like I am driving a Matchbox car. I’ve personally driven it in the field at a top speed of 72 km/h. When I drive, I can block out the outside world and all noise, and focus only on my task.”
—SOUNDBITE IN HUNGARIAN (SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH) — PVT IVÁN BÉLA KIRSCHNER, Gunner, Hungarian Lynx fighting vehicle
“The Lynx is equipped with three weapons. A 30 mm automatic cannon, a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun and a 7.62 mm parallel machine gun. It’s a good feeling when you hit a target from 2,500 metres.”
—SOUNDBITE IN HUNGARIAN (SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH) — SSGT TAMÁS DÁNIEL KORPA, Commander, Hungarian Lynx Fighting Vehicle
“A commander needs to have different skills. One of them is to be able to communicate well with the crew. Also to be able to adapt to situations quickly, to decide what needs to be done.”
—UPSOT IN HUNGARIAN (SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH) — SSGT TAMÁS DÁNIEL KORPA, Commander, Hungarian Lynx Fighting Vehicle
“Driver, forward, turn left.”
—SOUNDBITE IN HUNGARIAN (SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH) — SSGT TAMÁS DÁNIEL KORPA, Commander, Hungarian Lynx Fighting Vehicle
“In the fighting vehicle, everyone has different strengths and abilities, and that’s what makes this fighting vehicle so effective. Just like NATO and the strengths of different nations.”
