I think even if they were Russians, Valve would make them speak English so that we knew what was going on, like in Half Life when you sneak up on Marines sometimes they are discussing what's going on - "Answers sure, but civilians? Who ordered this operation anyway?" etc. There could be scenes...
What do you think he meant by Clone Army? Just that all the models were the same? In the locker room the security guards had different names, even if they were those of the Valve / Gearbox team :0)
Doesn't the plane teleport to Xen just after the flash? So they would have avoided the explosion. And since most of Black Mesa is underground, the full force of it might not have reached the surface.
