In the case of a missile strike, wouldn't the aircraft disintegrate in the air?

Aircraft may partly disintegrate, but this is not the main mode of operation of air defense systems.

The main mode of operation is to produce a relatively small near-by explosion that creates a wave of moving particles (shrapnel). Shrapnel causes the destruction of everything it touches.

Engines, radio transmitters, communications, and sadly... people.
