Minister told that they extended reqiurement. High altitide and long range.
It seems two engine drone? Two engine give opportinities reach high altitude. If drone flies at high alttitude, can reach long range.
Please your attention Russian Long Range Drone.

Or should we wait for Global Hawk?
RQ-4 Global Hawk HALE UAS
RQ-4 Global Hawk is a HALE UAS produced by Northrop Grumman. The combat proven UAS is in service with the US Air Force and US Navy. The Global Hawk was deployed in more than 15 combat missions and accumulated 350 combat hours during Operations Enduring Freedom, Southern Watch, and Iraqi Freedom. It has a maximum endurance of over 32 hours and a ferry range of 22,780km. It can fly at an altitude of 60,000ft.
The Global Hawk set a new endurance record for operational UAS in a non-stop flight of 33.1 hours at altitudes up to 60,000ft. The UAS supports different configurations or blocks. The initial Block 10 and Block 20 were substituted with latest Block 30 and Block 40 configurations. The
Euro Hawk, a derivative of the Block 20 Global Hawk, was also developed by Northrop Grumman and EADS for the German Air Force.
The Block 40 versions integrate multi-platform MP-RTIP active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI). The UAV employs Wideband Ku SATCOM and line-of-sight to communicate with the ground station.
Orion Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)
Orion is a long-endurance UAS developed by Aurora Flight Sciences, for Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and communication relay missions. Developed for the same programme as the Global Observer, the ORION UAS has been selected as the preferred option by the US Air Force for its JCTD programme.
The Orion UAS successfully completed its first flight in August 2013. It can carry multiple payloads of 2,600lb including full motion video electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) sensor, communication relay equipment, radars, Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) and Wide Rea Airborne Surveillance (WAAS) equipment. The wing hard-points of Orion can also be mounted with munitions.
The dual Austro Engine AE300 heavy-fuel engines fitted in the Orion UAS ensure a high endurance of five days or over 120 hours with 1,000lb payload. The UAS has a dash speed of 120kt and ferry range of 24,140km. It can fly at a maximum altitude of 30,000ft.
