    Looks like a power generation/distribution building. Also: The missiles that struck the hangars didn't just get through cuz they got lucky - there was likely very extensive SEAD/DEAD performed at each of the locations. We still don't have the full picture.

    Where did I deny that a Rafale was most likely downed? I haven't geolocated the exact spot but not much difference between 42 kms and 50 kms considering a jet in flight is unlikely to drop down at the exact location it was hit.
