Does a Yak 42 have spoilers?

spoilers?
Looks like it dunnit. But I would expect them to be further forward on the chord, perhaps those're slots associated with the flaps.

All 125 on board remained unhurt.
Good news, but that was a very full flight!

Spoilers - yes, but no reversers

Crayner: please identify the spoilers in the photos. Hence my question. I don't see any spoilers deployed; unless they were retracted for the evacuation, but then again, it is not necessary to do so given the position of the exits.

@RAT-5
Some do, apparently.
Yak-142
Derivative of Yak-42D with updated, western AlliedSignal avionics, spoilers to allow faster descent and enlarged cabin door to accommodate jet bridge. Also designated Yak-42A, Yak-42-100 and Yak-42D-100. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-42#cite_note-OKBYak_p317-8-16)

Looking at the video submitted by the Aviation Herald, and comparing it to the airport layout, it appears it went off at some considerable speed.

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.

The spoilers are in the conventional position, directly in front of the outboard flaps:

The Yak-42 is a pretty solid aeroplane - reminded me of the F-28 - rather overengineered tough old bird I felt
