Hungarian Defence Forces have taken the delivery of ten new US-made armoured vehicles at Camp Pannonia. The MRAPs will be used by the troops in Afghanistan.

The MaxxPro series of Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles incorporate a v-shaped hull design coupled with other survivability factors, being designed with crew protection in mind. The MaxxPro is intended to withstand ballistic arms fire; mine blasts; IEDs; and Nuclear, Biological and Chemical environments.

The MaxxPro series features a variety of armouring levels to fit various mission requirements. Different size variants further allow the vehicle to be tailored to the mission. The Maxxpros are the most modern vehicles of the Hungarian contingent. The Hungarian soldiers have been trained by the American troops deployed at Khilagay base.
The vehicle is equipped with ballistic protection – armour and glass protection required to meet the mission of the Hungarian PRT in Afghanistan.
