Oddly enough, my east German wingman insisted on only speaking in Russian.

That's ok, because Russian was the official aviation language in military and commercial aviation in East Germany (and all other Warsaw Pact states)

Hello,

That is correct - The aviation language for GDR - Forces was Russian:

And apparently English is used by Arab nations like Syria, thick American accents to boot.

Yes, all factions in the Middle East use proper English, as this video proves (sorry, could not resist )

Syrian MiG29 doing CAS against ISIS forces.

The Target area was some 70nm away, and looking at the nice fuelgage, it tells me I have 80nm range.. So a few kg of fuel to blow up stuff then bail out?

Luckily once I was a at 25k feet and rolled the throttles down to about 80% and my range shot up for 60nm to around 180.

I found the CCIP use very easy, the MiG-29 likes to put warheads to foreheads. The extreme low stamina from stores and fuel is what makes this not a great CAS aircraft. I already have fuel angst in the F-16, the MiG29 is twice as bad.

I managed to get 3 attacks out of 2 rocket pods and 2 cluster bombs, as well as some strafing runs. I was only over the battlefield for 10 minutes, and in that time I got several hard kills on armor, infantry and soft skin vehicles, even took out a L39 that ISIS had captured. So she is effective. Just too bad you can’t even select 1 and 1 bomb or 1 and 1 rocket pod.
