The second should be a bit too much for just 1 interceptor but doable with 2. Third should be just outside possible for 2 interceptors unless they've upgraded their weapons

But that's so now! Scout can be shoot down by any armed aircraft capable to catch it. Fighter can be shoot down by two interceptors (Stiletto) without problem with right weapons (Sparrowhawk missiles or PBW). Even one interceptor have chance to shoot it down but i wouldn't recommend to try it. Harvester can be shoot down by two Saracens with PBW (well, that was so before rebalancing, didn't test after). Stingray with PBW alone can shoot down anything except Corruptor (for that just not enough ammo, assistance required).

Tyrranus:
ATM every time I have tried to shoot down the fighter with two interceptors they die. Admittedly Im using just the base weapons not pbw but Ive only just gotten Laser weapons.

Which base weapons? TR-20 rockets and SHIVA cannon almost useless. First because of high miss rate, second too short range + high miss rate. Interceptor with them just can't survive long enough to deal serious damage to alien craft. Aerial laser cannon can be used as secondary but not primary due to its short range (compared to Fighter's PBW). So, you got only Sparrowhawk missiles until get working PBW. It's expensive but it worth it. Two Stiletto each with two missile racks (+targeting computer x 2 or with one ECM) shoot down Fighter without problem. Launched together from same base of course. That's from my real game experience. I'm also using plastic armor for better survival. I have tried other base weapons and lost many interceptors (and pilots) in such way. That was really rough time because of pilot's shortage in beginning.

So, more hits = quicker kill = less damage taken.

Tyrranus:
I use the cannon in the nose(since its the only weapon you can mount there) and twin sparrowhawk with ecm and targeting.... Id love to add armor to the interceptor but how? There is no slot when you select armor

Thurak:
There is a scrollbar on the left which normally starts with "weapons". You can change that to armour, ammunition and items.
