Obviously fake.
8 Hueys + 4 Cobras is an awfully low number. Any chance of further orders?
There's 17 Hinds alone currently, right?
Or are the H-1s to replace the Hind fleet only? Hip stays? What about the W-3?

CzAF has 12 Mi-35 in service and 5 are stored, H1 8+4 is replacement for Hind fleet only, Mi-171ShM stays in service at least untill 2030 for sure, 7 (with rear ramp) are highly modernised and digitalised thanx to US goverment support and got new weapons, next 8 (with rear door) will be modernized during next years. W-3A stays in service at least until 2025-2027, all 10 Sokols underwent general overhaul during last three years and now they get new digital maps system and EVS system. They are 5 Mi-17 and 3 Mi-8 in service as well and 4 Enstrom 480B-G are in service with Flight Training Centre
Thanks for the info.
Just came across this official source, which confirms the 12 H-1 will replace the Mi-24/35.
(well I read the google translation... ;) )
Officials of CzAF have annouced that purchasing of 8+4 H1 is only first phase of chopper fleet modernisation. Czech Army will buy more H-1 helicopters later. In December Ministry of Defence signed contract for new two C-295W and will buy one Bombardier Global 5000 in 2020. It means the end of two Jak-40 and one Challanger service in Czech Air Force livery.

Those camo schemes look amazing!
Even I lost my old account, which I had for over 10 years. This move over to the new forum has been a disaster. It has pretty much killed off the Military forum. I keep posting to keep the interest going, but if it doesn't pick up then even I'll stop.
