It is from Czechoslovakia, but not the Z26/226/326/526/726 Series Trener family. It is not a Praga.

If it’s not the Be-51, then I guess it might be a trick q. Is it an enclosed Klemm 35B built at the Zlin factory after ‘39 – like this one?
No it's not, stupid me
It's the 1935 Zlin Z-Xll

Planegill's challenge -Zlin
But as Winston would say about your pic - this time with the "NAAAZZIS" in it..
No offence intended for the PC brigade, just repeating a very,very old broadcast.
Fascinating how the 3rd used so much of Czech aero technology and production...I had a flying model of the Klemm as a ..oh well, that was then etc
Hope I'm right tho'

Thanks, Planegill, that was a tough one.
A bit more up to date now, and bonus points if you know the features which set this a/c apart from its stablemates..
It's probably quite easy if you know your stuff..

There! I knew you would find it easy. Kamov Ka-50, with contra-rotating co-axial rotor system - but 1 ejection seat for 1 pilot...unusual for gunship not to have two crew. Apparently explosive charges blow the rotor blades away before the hatch is jettisoned and our man goes for an interesting ride - even at zero feet(!) It's said to improve morale... 
The floor is yours, well done!
