The flight control operators (they certainly weren't pilots) flew the approach way too fast...resulting in a touchdown that's way too fast. They apparently pulled back on the yoke, trying to aerobrake. When the airplane got airborne, they pushed the yoke too far forward, porpoising the aircraft.

If you are talking about the Ruskies, I completely agree. Neither of the people in the cockpit could be called pilots.

If you are talking about the Ruskies

Absolutely, talking about the ruskies. There is no way I would ever call them pilots. They lacked basic airmanship skills.
