At 650mph x 7 hrs = 4,450 miles. That’s roughly a seach area the size of Russia.

650 mph? Isn’t that close to mach 1 at 30,000 ft? If they were going anywhere near that speed, wouldn’t that dramatically affect fuel consumption and range?

550 (airspeed) is much more common (not counting the Jetstream.)
That's an almost 20% exaggeration!
