To me it looks like this AN-148 was on fire before it broke up and crashed, as the the wing has signs of fire, not unless the fuel in the wing caught fire from another source of ignition.

This is new a design, maybe it needs more testing, but i am no expert.
Russian built aircraft do seem to have a poor safety record.
