Tripoli 2010?

The thread-search function didn't turn up anything but in many ways it looks similar to Afriqiyah Airways Flight 771 at Tripoli in 2010. That was an A330-200, and it was in daylight (albeit in IMC), but the speed and altitude curves are quite similar up until shortly before impact. In Tripoli the crew tried to pull up again, whereas in Rostov we don't really know yet if any late recovery was attempted since we do not yet have any control-input information or any pitch information execpt some low-quality CCTV footage.

Here's the final report.
