I’d say fighter jets are pretty sturdy if you can fly 9Gs in that and can take bullets without crashing. At least the engine should still be intact. It’s probably repairable.
They can only pull nine g’s because they are designed to be the lightest possible weight that can pull nine g’s. They are built sort of like soda cans. Obviously tougher than that, but they’re trivial to poke holes through.
It looks like it wasn’t a direct hit. Is it even destroyed?
Fighter jets aren’t built like tanks. They’re light, fragile, and delicate.

You don’t need a direct hit to make this a total loss. It’s fucked.
