fegyverzetet

Fegyverzetet is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun fegyverzet, which denotes armament or the set of weapons and related equipment used by a military force. The base term fegyverzet refers to the collective weapons, ammunition, and combat systems that enable offensive and defensive operations, as well as the platform-specific armament installed on ships, aircraft, or armored vehicles.

The concept covers a range of elements, including firearms, artillery, missiles, launch systems, defensive installations, and the supporting systems that make them operable, such as targeting, guidance, communications, and sensors. Fegyverzet can refer to the armament of a national armed force as a whole or to the armament of a particular asset or unit, reflecting both the matériel and the integrated systems it comprises.

In scholarly and policy contexts, fegyverzet is used in discussions of development, procurement, modernization, and arms-control. It appears in analyses of a country’s fegyverzetpolitik (armament policy) and in descriptions of an individual vessel’s or unit’s fegyverzete. The term emphasizes not only the weapons themselves but also the broader system of equipment that supports their use in combat.
