The Lightning was indeed a superb interceptor in its day but it lacked a good weapons system. The Tornado eventually got a good weapons system but it is a bit of a slouch in the climb although with liberal use of reheat it can achieve respectable time to its operating height.

I would not compare its climb rate with Typhoon.

I doubt anybody with accurate knowledge of the figures you are asking for would post them in this open forum.
