Still curious about what appears to be heavy damage to the radome …

first thought is substantial birdstrike damage …

second a collapsed NLG in combination with a steeper grassy slope than can be seen from the video’s.. with the radome digging in or the radome flipping open when the gear collapsed…

If the approach video is of this flight then the radome appears intact,
and hitting the G/S antenna or other object after the excursion might indeed explain the radome and right wing ‘root’ damage, and the subsequent fire … as posted by fivegirlkit below..
