How is it able to fly such long distance, without running out of fuel?

Drones for war = one way trip? It won’t be capable to return from a long journey right?

And if you mean specifically last generation low-cost kamikaze drones like Shahed-136 and other models, or Ukrainian Bobr, they are basically very large model planes made out of fibreglass, with a basically a very efficient scooter motor (it’s really good, very small two-stroke but gives like 50 horsepower), some good electronics to guide it (autonomously, it’s not controlled) and 50-100 kg of explosives. Yes, they can go for 1000 km. And cost just 30-40 thousand dollars.
