So a couple of times now while flying the A-10C and A-10C II when I have been jumped by Mig-29s /SU-27s  ... I noticed that the RWR was showing a L (laser painting me).  Do the Migs /SUs have a laser rangefinder as part of their IRST?  I've found it quite handy actually ... if you are suddenly getting a L warning and you know you are too high up to be getting painted by a ground vehicle laser range finder then you know you are getting jumped.  Just wondering if this is a known aspect of those Russian fighters.

Yep they do - see e.g. the Su-27 FC3 manual.
