Well, you have to remember, that a lot of these aircraft did not crash right away; remember, that the warhead is 4 or so pounds, compared to an AIM-9's 20~ pounds.

Usually, the aircraft get hit by the Stinger, and are damaged enough to force a return to base; where they crashland, and become inoperative. You can see this in the game, when even light damage causes the plane to abort it's sorties and RTB.
