Hungarian Army Practices Deployment of Anti-Drone Corridors

The Hungarian Army practiced deploying anti-drone corridors during the Exercise Adaptive Hussars 2025, the country’s largest military drills in modern history.

The Ministry of Defence of Hungary released videos showing the exercises conducted in the Martfű-Vézény area, where troops installed anti-drone corridors along key routes used by military vehicles.

Similar structures were set up to protect maintenance and repair points, which are considered vulnerable to aerial attacks.

Anti-drone corridors create barriers for enemy FPV drones, restricting their maneuvering space.

Properly installed mesh makes it harder for operators to strike vehicles or positions, forcing drones to search for openings and giving troops and equipment a better chance of survival.

The Exercise Adaptive Hussars 2025, held jointly with NATO allies, began on September 1st and will continue until mid-October, covering much of the country.

More than 22,000 personnel are taking part, including regular troops, reservists, special operations forces, engineers, logistics specialists and aviation units.

The maneuvers aim to test the combat readiness, mobility and coordination of the Hungarian Armed Forces within NATO, as well as to practice cooperation between military and civilian agencies in crisis situations. The exercise focuses on logistics, command and control, and the movement of equipment nationwide.

Militarnyi previously reported that Hungarian forces had crossed the Tisza River between Martfű and Vézény as part of the exercise.

The 2nd Engineer Regiment named after Ferenc II Rákóczi (MH II. Rákóczi Ferenc 14. Műszaki Ezred) built a temporary bridge that allowed Hungarian Lynx combat vehicles and a Turkish unit on M113 armored personnel carriers to cross under a simulated combat scenario in which main crossings had been destroyed.

The Hussar unit named after Count Ferenc Nádasdy played a special role, using horses’ mobility to establish a concealed observation post near the crossing. The horses were later left in a shelter under guard.
