It
does show the outer-right tire is missing, and I did note what could be flailing rubber in the video, although that brief section is so jumpy that I considered it unreliable evidence on its own.
Approach speed - I'd want to hear from someone with An24 experience. The wide-angle lenses on phonecams can distort or exaggerate ground speed. But it did
look fast to me.
Touchdown is just past the second = runway marks - is that significantly long?
Nevertheless, the excursion to the right is probably the key event.
it also looked like pitch was slightly negative. It seems there is a training problem in regards to russian pilots making approaches at well above the correct speeds, which occasionally leads to landings like this one.
in fact, by looking at the landings of old russian birds you almost always see how they balloon and have almost 0 pitch right before touching down.
