Revisiting the satellite images of 01 november for some speculation... I'm pretty sure the piece at the top is the tail section. Cone at the center or left, HS (grey, no shadow) at the bottom, perhaps? "Tail", "left cone" and "HS" objects sit approximately 900, 750 and 1050 meters ENE (perpendicular) of the recorded path, respectively. The "tail" object ~200 m after recorded vertical speed went negative, and the "left cone" object ~200 m before same point, in the direction of travel.

If 11:25 is EET/Moscow time, then this was 08:25 UTC, at which point the sun would be at 160 degrees azimuth (SSE) and 43 degrees above the horizon, according to WolframAlpha.
