Not long at all. Anything Ukraine flies over Russian-held territory with a precious/irreplaceable human crew needs to be very fast and hard to detect and/or intercept. This is not the campaign to be loitering a 200 knot OA-1K Skyraider II over the front lines. The OA-1K is no faster than the below Dewoitine D.27 (one of the first fighters to exceed 200 knots) from the 1920s. Surely we can do better?

Ukraine's ground strike role is Gripen and Viper territory, not a place for COIN types.
