The claim
“One Dassault Falcon and one Airbus headed toward Saudi Arabia, another Airbus flew toward Italy, and a large Embraer KC-390 cargo plane made a quick round trip to Libya, which the military described as part of an international training exercise.”
Our verdict
Mostly True
The claim about specific Hungarian military flights after the election is reported by a reputable news outlet and aligns with the known participation of Hungarian forces in the Flintlock 26 exercise.
What we found
While the aircraft types and destinations are corroborated by manufacturer information, no official flight logs or government confirmation are available due to classification.
