Less then 100 feet on top and same below , is my best guess.
Wonder if any complaint was received.
If it was an American airliner I would think there would be a complaint. Thought it fairly reckless myself of the fighters. But they probably had the situation under control. Just wanted to freak out the airliner.
Could it be that there was a very high ranking person on board?
