Fantastic air to air photo, possibly taken from a Typhoon.

Does the Typhoon make a louder boom than Concorde did? Used to hear Concorde all the time at St Athans, and I didn't think it was particularly loud.

Typhoon pilots communicate by ESP (Extra Sensory Perception). The aircraft's comm's sense what the pilot is thinking and transmits his thoughts to a satellite and via this to a speech processor for de-cryption and thus to VHF within line of sight range.

So it operates on a really narrow bandwidth then Out of Trim
I am led to believe that the interception was poorly executed as one of the Typhoons provoked a TCAS RA from the target aircraft.

I would guess Fitter that you are not a pilot as your post shows no understanding of the event. They are not meant to provoke a crew into an RA, and any sudden descent or climb may be incorrectly interpreted as a hostile act, with fatal consequences.
