Growing up in an Air Force family in Germany. (Bitburg AFB) I have always loved the drama and excitement involved in scramble and interception missions. I read in a newspaper a few months back that the Russian military is once again using the "Bear" to test air defenses. So my post is just a bunch of questions concerning scramble and interceptions.
How long does a typical scramble take to get airbourne? How many are typically launched? What weaponry do the aircraft carry? Are the aircraft at their discretion for speed and course? (meaning are the allowed supersonic speed, subject to control instructions by atc?).
Thank you
