Is that called stretching the glide?

Appears to have landed back on the airfield with an off-runway excursion. No left gear? Left wing is toast...

If you can walk away . . .
This video of a Transall landing normally
shows a hell of a lot more flap and probably (frame rate issues permitting) a lot more power; given it was returning due to a technical issue, there may have been some impressive airmanship involved in getting it down relatively safely.
Good flying for sure. They slipped through tall buildings during the pattern on what was maybe one engine mostly lost.

VVV
The LH engine appears to be at low power, and moving slowly towards feather, the rudder is neutral, the aircraft is rolling slowly left but has right roll aileron applied. The story will be interesting. Not hitting buildings and soft furry things may be from good planning or from being lucky.
Looks very much like a `fail to feather fully`and brake,as it was rotating on touchdown,bent tip..I think the a.c has `spoilers` for roll control as well,so not too much aileron to prevent drag/loss of lift.Whatever,good bit of aviating to get it down`safely`..
At least they avoided the Hospital, Orphanage and “cute puppy kennel”.
Well done in what appears to have been a bad situation.
As a friend once told me when describing a fascinating flight in a DC-3 on skis when they had an engine failure on take off when “Fully Loaded” and the failed engine did not fully feather: “We ran out of airspeed, power, altitude, options and good ideas simultaneously! We were very, very lucky.”

C-160 single engine performance was dire. Remember pulling one back for practise to flight idle at training weights out of Wunstorf (not far above MSL) on a 23 degree OAT day. Climb rate of less than 300FPM….
Would have been very interesting indeed had we been loaded, higher and hotter…

This was some electronics subvariant with heavier weight equipment.
