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?

The mq-9 Reaper is a 20+ year old drone with a _publicly reported_ range of 1,200 miles. Newer drone and especially lighter ones for reconnaissance that don’t carry ordinance can have a much more increased range. So they can absolutely make round trips, but it really depends on the specific drone.
