The Hungarian Ministry of Defence confirmed that an anti-drone protection system had been deployed in recent years around the Karmelita building in Budapest. The device also served to protect Viktor Orbán during his time at the former office located in this complex. Index.hu ↗
Discussion about the existence of the system began after unidentified antennas appeared in the vicinity of Karmelita. Media had already drawn attention to their purpose in 2023. The Ministry of Defence has now stated that they were part of anti-drone protection. Telex ↗
The exact capabilities of the system and its technical parameters remain classified for reasons of national security. The contract related to its deployment is also classified. Responsibility for classifying the document lies with the deputy director general of the Military National Security Service. HVG ↗
The authorities did not provide information on when the system was installed, what type of technology it used, or whether it is still in operation. It is also not known whether the device protected exclusively the premises of Karmelita or a wider area of the Budapest city center.
The ministry's confirmation clarified the purpose of the antennas, whose presence had raised questions. Further details, however, will likely remain inaccessible to the public due to security measures related to the protection of the prime minister and government buildings.
