Is this a stopgap measure until all Bell helicopters are delivered or will some Mis remain in service outside of all Bell deliveres?
Also, I really hope the Bell helicopters have the current Czech camo scheme as all-grey is boring.
The H-1 system is a replacement for the Mi-35. The Mi-171ŠM is and will be the standard medium transport helicopter of the Czech Air Force until 2035. That is why modernization is underway and the reason is also that the Czech company LOM Praha, which belongs to the Czech Ministry of Defense, has all the certificates and capabilities to work on Mi-8/17/171 helicopters, as the only one in Europe. Of course, after the Russian aggression, the Russian company Mil canceled all certificates for LOM Praha, but nobody cares because it is only formal and LOM Praha has all the technical and know-how capabilities for the repair and modernization of these helicopters. In addition, LOM Praha received certification from the Czech government and the Ministry of Defense through the so-called national route, so it is now independent of the Russian manufacturer and can support helicopters of the Czech army and foreign customers...

Electronic warfare specialists have started training on the new STARKOM jammers
On Tuesday, the training of electronic warfare specialists with a new mobile communication jammer began in the military district of Libavá. The armored Tatra equipped with several masts with antenna systems can, for example, disrupt the enemy's radio communications, its command and control systems, air communications, connections via mobile phones or global satellite positioning signal (GNSS).
This new mobile jammer is capable of providing complex electronic warfare operations on the modern battlefield. It is capable of jamming the enemy's radio communications, its troop command and control systems, air communications, mobile phone communications, global positioning satellite signal (GNSS) and control and data transmission signals from unmanned (UAV) and unmanned (UGV) vehicles. It is purely Czech-made technology, which is supplied to the army by the state enterprise Military Research Institute Brno (VVÚ). Technology, hardware and software supplied by the Czech companies URC Systems and JISR Institute are installed on the chassis manufactured by Kopřivnicka Tatra.

Mi-171 helicopter in new colors. The entire 55 years of service in the Army of Czech Republic fit into the camouflage:
The Mi-8/17 helicopter series is celebrating 60 years since the prototype took off and 55 years of service in the Army of Czech Republic. Mi-171Š machines fulfill an irreplaceable role in transporting people and are still one of the most widespread helicopters in the world. Members of the 222nd helicopter squadron from Náměště remind of their importance and uniqueness with new camouflage.

A giant C-17 Globemaster cargo plane landed in Náměšt nad Oslavou today. He brought the first of two training simulators for the new Bell helicopters from the USA, they will be in operation from the summer. The first AH-1Z Viper will be taken over by the Air Force of the Czech Army this spring, and they will be followed by UH-1Y Venom multi-purpose machines.
The AH-1Z Viper helicopter simulator arrived in the Czech Republic packed in several large boxes. He will now travel to the recently completed simulation center, which was built by LOM PRAHA s.p. directly at the air base in Náměšt nad Oslavou. "In the new H-1 building, we will provide operation and technical support for simulation technologies. Two FTD (Flight Training Device) simulators for Bell AH-1Z and UH-1Y machines will be located here, there are also two classrooms, including a room for mission planning, and the necessary facilities for training ground and air personnel," says the director of the state of the company LOM PRAHA Jiří Protiva.
