Excuse me but either Iran or North Korea can´t replicate the RQ4. RQ4 it is more than a big UAS.
It has extensive IA assited flight controls and terrain and signals processing system. The RQ4 can, probably work completely autonomous, disconected from the satellite constellation. Gathering by his own signals of her SAR system, same as SIGINT system, making a map of all radioelectric sources, distinguishing the civilians ones, military others and from those, avoiding the dangerous ones (Radar radio signal waves from SAM systems), making his own library and if cannot deliver in real time to US satellite constellations classifing them for giving all information after reaching a safe US or allied base.
Just a hint; Sentinel was masterfully hacked by iranians and they managed to land it. But RQ4 was shoot down. The diference between them probably is IA flying system completely autonomous. And persians for sure knew it. For sure they tried to hack it mission after mission, but after some, they understood that the RQ4 was probably flying by his own and they just shoot down in the most favourable point of his route for colleting his debries.
For replicating the RQ4 you first need develop all IA flying system, sensor system and processing system. After it you need replicate his advance satellit node communication system and finally to put into orbit a complete fleet of advance satellite constellation.
RQ4 it is just much more than a turbofan engine and a big and LOA fuselage.
