Typhoon MTOM is approx 23500Kgs therefore in the 'Small' Wake Turbulence Category.
IL76 MTOM is 195000Kgs therefore in the 'Heavy' Wake Turbulence Category (hardly surprising…)

From CAP493: In the case of an IL76 behind a Typhoon separation for wake turbulence reasons alone is not necessary.

I don't think the IL76 would have even felt a tickle…a crosswind, on the other hand, is a different matter, regardless of mass...
