Russian Wagner forces Il-76 crash in Mali
Only half a speed-brake
Does the Il-76 have visible ground spoilers? Can't really see any on the video.
Any ideas? Don't the flaps look different too:

Spoilers are clearly visible on your second photo. In your pics flaps are set 45, in the accident video 30, but that should be OK for a normal landing. T/R deploys 3 seconds after touchdown on all four.
They were training with a plane full of human cargo
We were only permitted necessary crew on board.

What issue could we looking at here ? perhaps hydraulics, perhaps something as simple as loss of weight on wheels signal which locks out lift spoiler and reverser deployment on similar types.
Fly safe TR
The lift spoilers in the video appear to be stowed (unlike the photos which are from another location)

To my tired eye the crash video does not display any significant deceleration at all. Even after the mid-point landing, stopping hard should had been achievable (my plane with far less wheels installed would!).

If you get to the turn-around taxi-way loop before the wheels make contact you have gone too far.

inconclusive. I picked the pictures from elsewhere on the internet, and the first one almost certainly has spoilers same as the second, but the rear viewing angle makes them unrecognizable. Is that the case of the crash video too? Not sure.

I agree, the images are somewhat inconclusive especially given the position of the sun, but I would expect the deployed spoilers to be visible, even fleetingly as a darker line above the flaps and I am not seeing this at any point in the video, added to which there is no obvious deceleration until the overrun
