Yup, you've answered your own question about wherre this question should be. Just to avoid being a pain, YES, they will be able to talk to each other.
This is why the radios are called TRANSCEIVERS (transmit and recieve) we are in the realms of VHF radio here, not press the red button on Sky.
However if I was on the ramp of an airfield under attack, doing something that requires me talk to the tower (take off landing etc) would be at the back of my mind as I attempted to taxi at Vne for cover.
