No, this is MIG-29. Those that crashed are a couple of SU-27 - like these of the photo:

There is a good video of their flight 10 minutes before the catastrophe:

Many concurs that one pilot at the very end of the rehearsal lost his bearings and his leader and hit the cockpit of the over plane by the tail-end.

The commander of this team, who was in the broken cockpit, died at once and moreover his plane killed one woman on the ground. The other two pilots are not suffered a lot.
