[Contact] was briefly lost while flying over German airspace. Communication was safely restored within a few minutes.
That sounds like the whole incident didn't take more than 15 minutes. Does somebody know how fast the Typhoons were with the airliner?
I know there are some guidelines for the Luftwaffe like "a fighter needs to be able to get to any point in german airspace within 15 minutes" or so, but that all sounds VERY fast.
