An F16 has a Vs of the order of 150kt, depending on loading.

There are intercept videos on youtube with F16s flying along airliners and the F16 had to break off because the stall warner was going off continuously as the 737 slowed down to its Vref of ~140kt.

What is the Vs of the Typhoon? It can't be that much different, though I suppose the powerful fighter jets can fly awfully slowly on the back of the curve
