RAT 5 The photos are poor resolution, but in the one taken from the tail there are lines above the flap hinges. They could be spoilers, but appear too far aft. In the other which shows part of a wing tip there is a possible control surface protruding above the upper surface. Again, not where I would've thought you'd put a spoiler, but then, I'm not a Russian aeronautical engineer.
