Doesn’t need to go to 33K feet, an R-60 Air to Air missile (which can be carried by SU25) has a range of 8km or over 26,000 feet.

” ... an R-60 Air to Air missile (which can be carried by SU25) has a range of 8km or over 26,000 feet.”

According to this website, the practical range of the R-60 is 4km:

And probably less if it has to climb to reach the target.
