What a bunch of Hokum!

(Mis-reporting from Pravda; it was actually a Ka-52K prototype (non-fatal).)

Are these the same two aircraft, the surroundings look different and the attitude of the fuselage is not identical

It is the same airframe...
Crash was within borders of Kamov test facility near Privolnaya str:
