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)?

If you’re talking about UIA flight 752, that’s a passenger jet that’s not built to see combat. You can’t really compare that to a built-for-combat WWII bomber, which will necessarily be designed with additional redundancy and much more comprehensive crew training to survive damage.
