3-point landings

While we were awaiting takeoff clearance at Khartoum recently, an
Ilyushin IL76 Syrian Air cargo plane landed. Just prior to touchdown,
it kinda flattened out from its nose-down final and clearly did a
3-point landing. I was looking at the plane from my starboard window
seat.

During flight, I had an opportunity to talk up our plane's First
Officer (a Syrian, incidentally). When I mentioned the lack of a flare
in the Ilyushin's touchdown, he said he'd seen it too but wasn't unsure
that it might have made a mini-flare which we may not have caught from
our distance of about 75 meters out.

Has anyone here piloted an IL76 often enough to know whether or not it
can indeed do a 3-point landing?

Cheers,
