Four years ago, Hungarian air defense watched idly as a Ukrainian drone flew over the country; now the government is using the incident to incite fear 😔

Gergely Gulyás, Hungary's Minister of the Prime Minister's Office, addressed concerns about the protection of energy infrastructure following a Ukrainian drone incident over the Paks nuclear power plant during the Russian-Ukrainian war. The drone, which was outdated and carrying explosives, flew undetected in Hungarian airspace for 40 minutes before crashing in Croatia. The Hungarian government faced criticism for its failure to intercept the drone and for its communication regarding the incident. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced increased security measures for energy infrastructure, citing potential threats from Ukraine.
