What's in a Prague street name

Tiché was built in 2021.

Michaela Tichá was born in Šumperk in 1993. She joined the army in 2017, specifically the 242nd Transport and Special Squadron of the 24th Transport Air Force Wing of the 24th Transport Air Force Base Prague-Kbely.

She also served in the voluntary fire brigade in Braník: https://prazska.drbna.cz/zpravy/spolecnost/3989-vojacka-ktera-zemrela-pri-padu-vrtulniku-patrila-k-hasicum-z-braniku-jeji-telo-dnes-prileti-do-prahy.html.

Her first mission abroad, starting in August 2020, was to the Sinai Peninsula, where she served in the 8th Task Force of the Czech Army and in the USA-led Multinational Force and Observers, which monitors the Egyptian-Israeli peace accord.

On 12 November 2020, during a routine monitoring mission over Tiran Island, the helicopter Tichá was in crashed due to a technical malfunction. Seven passengers, including Tichá, were killed.

Tichá was the 30th Czech soldier – and the first female Czech soldier – to be killed on a foreign mission; she was buried in Prague, with full military honours, on 20 November: https://praha4.cz/posledni-rozlouceni-s-rotmistryni-michaelou-tichou/.
