The plane was literally designed to eat ground fire... It was absolutely shot at, a lot. Multiple redundant systems and the iconic "titanium bathtub" kept the pilot from immediately dying when it got shot up. Hell the engines were designed to be able to eat a lawn chair and keep going. (Maybe?)

They were used and highly effective. That's why they kept them around for so long.
