Over-compensating for Vmca?
I don't see much flaps. Maybe some of us with better eyes will correct me, but I think it's landing with no flaps at all.
The white smoke is, imho, the locked tires trying to stop the plane. The cabin video showed shredded tires on the right.
The cabin video also clearly shows that reverse thrust wasn't applied at all. On An-24 when props are reversed the change in sound is very distinctive. The outside video shows smoke only coming from the right tire. Maybe that's what pulled it to the right. And pilots either didn't know the left brake was inop or simply had no choice but to keep pushing.
