These were given by the UK awhile back or promised, imagine what they will do with next generation batteries or ones designed for aviation. That might double the endurance or more and that means doubling the range in many cases. With enough range drones like these could place shaped charges on bridges far to the enemy rear and bring them down or weaken them enough that when the first train tries to cross it will collapse. Even a reenforced concrete highway bridge can be cut or rendered useless. Such drones can carry 8ft long shaped charges with standoffs that will knife through them like butter, if placed across the roadway and a couple would render most such bridges useless. They can even place them on side supporting beams or almost anywhere else, even autonomously. For most applications there are other conventional ways of taking out bridges at the enemy's rear, but increased battery power could mean increased range and capabilities in the future.
