No we can't. You're comparing flesh to the raikage's armour. And chidori's penetrative force to a kunai. The penetrative force of the chidori made the raikage bled a little, so he was obviously pierced, sasuke countered lightning with lightning and that's why he was able to bypass the armour a little. Minato just has his striking force here, and like i mentioned he is using a conductor of electricity to accomplish this which is bad already. Notice how the chidori true spear easily slices through things, like Gyuki's full tentacle and through both Karin and Dazou simultaneously but only made a slight jab on the raikage. Kunai ain't piercing it.

And that's with the fact that two of the same natures with equal force can stuff out one another, while one with more force can prevail and become stronger afterwards. Obviously Sasuke's Chidori failed because his lightning was barely weaker than Ay's or Ay's Lightning wouldn't of stopped it and if they were equal nothing would of happened. Sasuke still managed to pierce through and get his jab in. Knowing that and Bee saving Ay and Ay thanking Bee for that, it's safe to say Minato almost killed Ay. Unlike in Minato's case here there would be no chakra nature counter-balance, like in Sasuke's case. Chapter 462 page 16, sasuke tried to stab ay with his sword. But that somehow got deflected away.

As for Jiraiya, people quickly dismiss him but Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind (which is said to be inescapable in the 2nd Databook with only Amaterasu being the known means of escape) can solo most of everyone in the Narutoverse. Ay doesn't have the power to escape it. Bee might with Tailed Beast Bombs. But that can be debated since it took literally the hottest flame to burn through it and I don't think TBB measure up heat wise. It's flesh right? so pierce it. Or defeat the caster.

And being electrocuted doesn't seem to be the case since Bee literally pushed Ay's back and wasn't even zapped. Not to mention Minato's nose (and when he appeared he was in contact with the Lightning aura which was surging all around him) was touched and he wasn't zapped by an electrical current of any kind. So it safe to assume of the Lightning Armor does have that effect, it doesn't work on either Bee or Minato. It did work on Minato's nose, after Minato evaded the punch he landed on a tree, zoom in on his nose, he was slightly scarred mainly because he was maybe exposed to a small amount for a very short time. Concerning bee there is no way of telling, cuz the tentacle was like sliced and bee was not seen flinching, plus he was exposed to the current for a short period of time as well.
