The Typhoons which can scream from runway standstill to seven miles high in 90 seconds
Not bloody likely mate. They are fast but not that fast. However, point taken. The Syrians beat feet rather that getting shot up then down.

The specs are saying it has a rate of climb of 62,000 feet per minute. Not sure if the human can make that climb that fast, but they say the plane can. Takeoff to vertical, I'd think they could make 36,000 feet in 90 seconds.

Actually it can climb almost three times that fast.
