Picture here is the A-380 but Emirates plan to use 777-200LR for this service.

The (referenced) article clearly states the use of an A350 variant for the route.

It clearly states that Singapore will use the 350 for its route. Emirates doesn't even have any 350's on order. They're using 772LR

This must be scheduled carriers only, because the military does longer routes on a weekly basis.

I don't think the military has anything with that kind of range.
