Well, nobody can deny the Bell's are somewhat long in the tooth, and the H 145 seems ideal to replace them. The mystery is why only seven?

One per operational jet?

These will only replace the Hueys tasked with domestic SAR. Bundeswehr yet to hold competition for wider Huey replacement, but follow-on orders of H145/H145Ms most likely. Will need to be soon, as they're due to ship out to Afghanistan in 2021 https://www.janes.com/article/85052/...nistan-in-2021

Is there no end to that misery?

When I arrived in Afghanistan in late 2001 there was hope it might be over by Christmas, or perhaps by the turn of that year.

No end indeed.
