This was why I was assuming the Russians brought back the nuclear torpedo. Not needing the B part of a ICBM greatly decreases fuel and thus size requirement.

Actually, a drone of the size of Status-6 will need a huge amount of fuel. It's easier to travel through the air than through water. Unless the Russians plan on deploying it from ships right off shore, it'll need very long range.
Status-6 is supposedly nuclear powered, so its range is effectively unlimited.
