[Man of Steel]Why doesn't the Kyrptonian armor worn by General Zod and his soldiers fold like aluminum foil when struck by Superman?

What I mean by this is: the armor worn by General Zod and his soldiers is Kryptonian, crafted to withstand Kryptonian weaponry and attacks, on Krypton. Right? So it wasn't crafted to withstand the super-strong punches, kicks, and heat beam eye attacks that Superman subjected it to during the recent events in Metropolis. It also wasn't crafted in such a way(that I'm aware of) to absorb Earth's yellow sun's radiation so as to become stronger. Why doesn't it buckle and break?

Moreover, Jor-El seemed to be saying that Kal would gain strength from growing up on Earth rather than simply being on Earth, but the Zod Squad gained their powers immediately and without enjoying the air first. Can this inconsistency be explained, as well as why Kal didn't avoid the Kryptonian air by simply holding his breath? And if he can be in space and keep his power, why does the air matter at all?
