I see pictures and hear stories of aircraft struggling back to base with hundreds of bullet holes or missing engines/parts of wings or shrapnel inside the wings. How did they stay in the air after all that anti air fire and why are modern aircraft weaker than them (Iran shot down one easily)?

Just luck. Some of them had four engins and could make it home with just one engine still operational provided the electronics and hydraulics that allowed control over the engine and steering were still in tact and the structural integrity of the plane doesn’t fail.
