I’m sure in this case they would just take them apart before flying and give them a thorough cleaning. I was talking about just paint in general isn’t likely to kill an engine or crash a plane. They hit birds on take off and survive, a little paint isn’t going to do much.
But I’ll add. Yes if birds enter engines they destroy them. This is why air intekes thed to have protection. Harm is more likely from rear engine input. As these are less protected as flight makes it pretty hard for anything but weapons grade to enter that way.
As you mentioned jet engines are very diff now to early designs due to accident reports.

Yeah think I typed that at the same time as you.
