not much the Typhoon could have done as an escort, so it must have been prepared to shoot it down. So correct choice of words.

Wrong choice of words the El P.

Very interesting point tho. At some point sometime the decision will have to be made to change from 'escort' mode to 'blow out of the sky' mode, depending on the level of threat. Horrible to even contemplate, but you can bet your life such plans are already in place.

Same for me, i'd hate it if i'm casually enjoying a relaxing flight then all of a sudden a fighter jet rocks up out of nowhere. I'd rather be none the wiser if I'm gonna blow up mid-air or get blown out of the sky.
