Another drama.
A Republican politician, not sure if senator or congressman gave a statement that they're blocking Hungary from buying HIMARS' until Hungary accepts Sweden into NATO.
Turns out in 2021 the Hungarian Defence Forces started to look into rocket artillery, looked into couple of options, one of them was the US made HIMARS system, in 2023 February some people on behalf of HDF visited there. As far as Hungarian media can know there is no deal on the table, I read Turkey's offer was considered seriously (which would make sense, we have good relations, most likely cheap solution, also Turkey is on the Road and Belt; the TRG-300 Tiger/Kasirga MLRS was battle tested in Nagarno-Kharabakh - problem is half the range of HIMARS; they would just rust away anyway).
