Often in Hollywood you will see aerial or space dogfights in which a pilot will line up on a target’s 6 o’clock, destroy the target, and then fly straight through the cloud of smoke and fire and carry on. Is this realistic?? Aren’t there massive chunks of metal in this cloud waiting to chew up the insides of the attacker’s engines? Does this happen IRL?

In reality dogfights don’t really happen anymore and if they do, it’s at greater ranges than they show in movies so you would have room to avoid debris. But if you were to fly through the explosion then yes, the debris would damage the plane and all the gases and gunk would probably flame out the engine.
