As part of the Zrínyi 2026 program, another plant will be built in Hungary after the Lynx plant in Zalaegerszeg, but this time not for heavy industry, but for the chemical industry. The partner in the deal, signed Tuesday, Würgendorf-based Dürgit Nobel Defense, has been involved in explosives production and research for more than 100 years.
Among other things, products such as Panzerfaust 3 and its enhancements are part of the RGW 60-110 series. Another important area of the company’s activity is the development and production of Explosive Reactive Armor. One of the main elements of the additional protection needed against modern antitank weapons is the explosive packaged in brick-like boxes, whose main function is to “scatter” the resulting cumulative beam before it reaches the main armor. ERA also plays a role in defending against the other main threat, subspace-sized arrow projectiles, deflecting the projectile from its orbit, reducing its kinetic energy, and also destroying the projectile’s tip.
In the cooperation announced today, a plant unit dealing with both production and development will be established in Kiskunfélegyháza, within the territory of HM Arzenál. The announcement of the agreement signed by Michael Humbek, Managing Director of Dynamit Nobel Defense (DND) and Government Commissioner for Defense Development Gáspár Maróth, indicated that the production of reactive armor (ERA) will be carried out in the first two years . At the same time, the production of armor-piercing weapons (RGW) components, which can be launched from the shoulder, will begin gradually, culminating in the creation of a fully national Hungarian product version within five years.

The Hungarian Armed Forces recently regularized the Carl Gustaf M4 anti-skid pistols for similar tasks. The question rightly arises: what might be necessary for two tools with the same task? Without knowing the details of the deal, it seems likely that the RGW 110, which is larger caliber and therefore more capable than the 84mm diameter shoulder used, could be the key to the mystery.
