ISI released clearer satellite footage with some analysis:

It was additionally said that the missiles came in groups of 4 (hit in rows) and not all together to avoid collapsing the hangar. It's possible, IMO, that the hangar was kept intact so it would be reused, and the Iranian forces in Syria wouldn't seek new facilities that would have to be found and tracked again, but in facilities that are already well known.

 

The munitions were supposedly, judging by the penetration marks, SDBs or Spice 250. Not Delilah, Popeye, or Skysniper as some speculated, as these are far larger munitions.

OSV-96.  Russian 12.7mm rifle with a hinge mechanism at the front of the receiver so it can be folded down into a more manageable package.

What are these high caliber rifles used for?

He just reposted Vestnik Mordovii, which IMO doesn't have good articles about those BRDMs.

Sometimes - anti-sniper work, most of the time in Syria it is used as sniper rifle that can punch through walls of buildings.

A lot of parts shown have no traces of explosion/burning, they look like after plane crash.

2 "smart" missiles defected to Moscow.
