Concerning the Ukrainian "
FURY" haven't found anything about speed yet.
However, I've found a battlefield limitation maybe you're not aware of or I noticed was posted. Generally, the following are all saying the same thing...
"This has reduced the UGV’s operational costs, while still achieving a
direct line-of-sight communication range of up to
2 kilometers (1.2 miles).
Trials revealed that the mini-tank can maintain
effective communication at
approximately 700 meters (2,296 feet) in environments with natural and man-made obstructions.
Additionally, the machine gun fitted into the unmanned platform is equipped with targeting cameras and can hit enemies up to 800 meters (2,624 feet) away."
A couple of the others here also say it can carry
550 rounds of 7.62mm.
Also, it's venerable to AP rounds and depending on its thickness a standard NATO (Not FMJ or AP round.) 7.62mm can penetrate 7mm RHA at 300 meters. Not what we carried.
.50 BMG AP can penetrate 1 inch RHA at 200 meters.
Those values are from the ammo used ~10 years ago. They are better now, and a Barret .50 (Or similar.) current AP round or two should be enough to take it out.
It seems though the Ukrainians are using them to distract a position while the actual attack is coming from another direction/sector.

I read the claim from ref. 1 of the attack those drones take out tanks
but not this?
The
last ref. seems to dispute the claim of the first...
"The platform is designed with 4th-class protection armour, offering a
degree of resilience against standard bullets. "
Seems they also have a Drone by the same name as well. Speed is 120Km/H.
