Olympic airspace - military interceptions

This is a little tongue in cheek but in conversation with others the conclusion is that these military interceptions might not be up to much...

Firstly the Typhoon is probably not the best weapon of choice to intercept the standard GA fare so we come to the helicopter intercept.

So the idea is they alert you and then you have to follow them, but that means that at some point they must break away from you and at which point you have the advantage. I guess putting the rotors in-between you and the guy with the gun at the side would be a first thought and then climb?

Then what happens if there are 2 or 3 of you?

Might become an Olympic sport in itself?
