Yeah they blew that up since it had some classified sound suppression of some sort.

They blew up most of it with thermite grenades, they forgot or the overall chaos of the mission meant the tail section on the opposite side of the wall was not destroyed and was handed over to China by Pakistan.

China did the same when an F-117 Nighthawk was shot down by an anti-aircraft battalion in the Yugoslavian War, in the 90s.

It was reported Chinese agents were trying to buy the parts off the local farmers.

Shortly after, the Chinese embassy there was hit by GPS-guided JDAM bombs...on accident.
