MLG stress

Guys!!
1)in my opinion that is an IL86 not a 747, is too low over the wheels plus those brake vents are not boeing (close guess?)
2) The body gear is not steerable,
3) it looks really a test , Who would be there during a Pusch back getting pictures?
4) the kind of tarmac...russian airport?

Sorry Guys!!!
I still think that it is a IL86 however it could be an A 340-600

the picture are referring most probably to a test since you can notice in one picture one red ban from a lock pin still in place to avoid the accidental retraction or gear collapse.
in another pics you can see also an observer jusr in the back ground (he looks russian...)sorry. Have a nice day whatever you are.
