The drone footage released by Russian TV shows some of the hangars where we can see daylight from end to end.
A still photo shows good detail of the pair of hangar doors blown off their rails and laying, flat in front of the hangar, indicating they were closed at time of impact. Would all of the hangars have had heavy blast proof doors, at both ends? The drone footage shows debris outside entrances to hangars, but no blast doors laying flat on the ground.

Can we assume hangars were hit at one end, obliterating blast doors at one end and blowing blast doors at the other end off their rails?

Australian Media report that the drone footage indicates the hangars are "intact" and use this to question the veracity of the US assessment!
