Check out hail damaged aircraft.....

Here is one with substantial wing damage from a SFSAM

Seem I've misunderstood your misunderstanding.

What I have seen is wings with multiple gaping holes all over with damage to ailerons and flaps. So much damage that there would be little chance that control line would survive and the AC is still capable of dogfighting? Objects to aim for during an attack include oil coolers radiators rudder/elevators and ailerons. Hitting any of these will at least remove the ability to effectively maneuver at best unflyable.
