Wouldn't you know I had to excerpt the relevant paragraph.

The SU-25 fighter jet can gain an altitude of 10km, according to its specification,” he added. “It’s equipped with air-to-air R-60 missiles that can hit a target at a distance up to 12km, up to 5km for sure.”

Which converts to 32808.4ft if my calculator is right. And is that missile also limited in height?

That’s 32,000 feet clean. Ceiling with armament is closer to 17,000 feet.
