Index.hu‘s András Földes wrote an interesting article and released photos depicting the Hungarian border wall aimed to stop illegal migrants from entering the country.
The released photos allow to see electrocution warning signs, watch towers and border guars armed with automatic rifles.
“It may not be a full fence shield, but there are fixed wires running parallel to the ground,” András Földes reported. “The 12 wires mounted on insulated points are visible on both fences of the double fence, with insulated portions on the inside of the fences since it’s assumed they [migrants] will only come from the outside if they come in.”
According to the media, the government is going to equip the wall with motion detection systems, night vision cameras and thermal imaging cameras.

There is no electricity in the fence, that’s a provocation by some locally active NGO-s to take the government under pressure. Also nobody from the Hungarian Police or Military used their weapons against migrants. However it’s true, due to Hungary don’t have border guards anymore (EU requested to merge them into Police) the country was need to order some hundred Military members to the Serbian-Hungarian borders to support the locally available Police forces. These Military members of course equipped with guns, machine guns and other light weight weapons.
The fence built along the Serbian-Hungarian borders only, this part was the heavily affected area where illegal migrants came thru the green borders in 2015 and 2016. In some days more than 10.000 migrants came thru every day. Currently this number is around 20-25 per a day, 99% of them caught and sent back to Serbia since the March 2017 every day.
This is what a nation with steel balls looks like ! This is what determination and will looks like ! Congrats Hungary and hat down in front of you ! All the Respect from your oldest enemy, Romania !
Hm, shouldn’t be enemies… I think our nations spent more time in peace then at war during the last thousand years. Let’s try to keep that habit and help each other to keep our nations alive and healthy in these days. The enemies are coming from outside and threatening both countries same as the whole European region.
You know, let’s help them to make peace in their own lands, instead to invite them then suffer because of their religious and national problems.
It would be a good thing if the fences were electrified!
This will do little as long as Hungary is in EU. There are 52 million Muslim in Europe so which one are they going to stop the one that come from other countries are the ones that are legally entitle to enter Hungary?? Hungary should simply leave EU as UK did and that is the best defence rather than this wall.
disagree, they should do both.
The police should also plant landmines and construct a water-filled moat filled with hungry alligators to deter the migrant invasion. Then send the bill to Merkel and the evil rats in Washington, DC who caused the migrant onslaught from the Middle East and North Africa in the first place. The “welcome policy” and “refugees welcome” policy has exploded right in the faces of the countries stupid enough to allow this disaster.
OUTSTANDING!! Lets all take some lessons from a country that still has some pride, dignity, and soveriegnty left.
They can build as many borders and fences as they like. We’ll come and run over them.
If I’ve learned anything about propaganda, such imagery is supposed to trigger the Dachau switch in our brain. I’m not buying it: Hungarians inside can leave legally anytime they want, and people on the outside are free to go somewhere else. Agree or not, I respect what Hungary is doing because they’re not trashing other people’s countries left and right like jolly green giants, which is of course what created the refugee flows.
Please Hungarians, don’t be naive and realize what a huge Deep State bull’s eye you have painted on yourself. By exposing the connection between migrants at home and war abroad, and showing that there IS an alternative with sufficient political will, you have made some very powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to bring you down. Frankly, you need some help from Putin just to survive, but don’t put your trust even in him–only in your own determination.
