I know this is super tight and not advised, but if we are carry on only, is it even humanly possible to make that connection?
Separate tickets? It would haveto be as no reputable airline / travel agent would sell you that as the MCT for T3-T2 is 75 minutes

If you think 70 mins is tight then think that allowing for the LH doors close deadline you'll have even less than that.

You have no allowance for the VS flight being late or if the T3-T2 transfer isn't running to time or if there are queues at T2 transfer security.

And when you turn up late at the LH gate they have no obligation to just rebook you for free on the next flight.

Rethink your plans
