The discrepancy doesn't actually matter, because the drone can only see ~4.5km ahead of itself. Here's a helpful little illustration. Because the radar AA necessarily must be a little behind the frontline, and because the drone has to move a considerable distance forward from that AA in order to see anything, it will pass into range of the fighter before it sees anything, and the fighter doesn't need to enter AA range in the process.
Even if you did have to enter AA range, which may be the case if your ally is pushing forward, your fighter can enter AA range with afterburners to kill the drone, turn, dive to low alt and flee to safety. Anything short of ~2km deep into the AA net and you'll be able to outrun the missile on evac or break lock before it goes terminal.
