The crashed Heron appears to be a EW/Sigint version with cheek antennas as well as blade antennas on the twin booms.
The blade antennas have not been seen on IAF Herons before, I think.

The VT- prefix is for civil aircraft.
This Embraer ERJ-135BJ is part of the IAF fleet, hence the K-xxxx serial (K-3601-K-3604).
The BSF airplane that was part of the same order is VT-BSF
