, cutting hydraulics, killing the pilots, destroying components,
I hope by "components" you also mean such vital pieces of fuselage/wing construction as spars or ribs - they carry all the loads - you can only sufficiently weaken some of them in few places and aerodynamic forces plus 'zipper' effect will do the rest and the whole thing will unravel in midair.
