As wake turbulence does not start until the aircraft rotates off the ground, there is no way the Ilyushin would have been affected by the Typhoon's wake even if you were not dealing with a small/heavy category difference -
Why does wake turbulence start at rotation? Surely as soon as the wings are producing lift (ie, the aircraft is at a reasonable speed), there will be some wake turbulence? Granted it will be lower until AoA is increased (rotation), but not negligible.
