the same chicken test applies to windshields and these are done with actual birds.
I dont know of any tests for either airframe or engine that address hailstones.
Obviously as the loma pictures show the radome come off worst but that may be due to the impact angles.
Have been involved with quite severe airframe damage but the windshields dont seem to suffer to the same degree
