Orban: Hungary will shoot down Russian drones if they fly into the country

"We know they are doing it. We are not afraid of it. We will certainly bring them down," the Hungarian prime minister emphasized .

Orban said that Russia is "weak" militarily, economically and numerically compared to Europe. Therefore, EU countries should behave as a strong community.
