I thought standard procedure was to send two Typhoons up - but only one this time? Any idea why?

2 Typhoons monitored by aircraft enthusiasts.

ZK357 was the Typhoon that went supersonic. ZK325 was the other Typhoon scrambled.

Thanks all. I shall now return to my seat down the back, request another beverage from the cabin crew, and keep quiet.

I saw 2 as I was sat on the radar screen watching the situation. To quote the infamous Max Boyce “ I was there!!!”
