Tyre marks in the middle(halfway down) of the runway.......
sounds like the typical Rusky landing.....it's classic demonstration of what not to do; 'Duck under' approach followed by shallow flight path to touchdown zone with excess speed (from ducking) and then the prolonged flare and 'hold off' to get that oh so smooth landing......seen it many times and it's the way they like to operate and not a lot of regard paid to the performance side of things.
