You could calculate it from footage of it online:

At 0:27 in that video you see it moving through a minefield of AT mines -- you could estimate it's speed by seeing how long it takes to pass each AT mine?

It shows that at least one nation is THINKIHNG (note - THINKING) and has done planning on what would happen if battalion level mortars got replaced with expendable UAVs.

It has been confirmed that the Army has virtually finalized a plan to convert aging 60mm and 81mm (caliber) mortars operated by battalion-level units and below into attack drones. In the Army infantry units, 60mm mortars are the main force operated by the weapons company, and 81mm mortars are operated by the heavy weapons company.

Army Chief of Staff Park Ahn-soo (General) announced this during the National Assembly Defense Committee’s state audit of the Army Headquarters held in Gyeryongdae, South Chungcheong Province on the 17th, saying, “We are currently planning an operation to (convert) mortars into drones.” Park said,

“The Army has created a future military structure, and a plan to convert the heavy weapons company’s 60mm and 81mm mortars into drones has been created,” and “Since we don’t have enough power right now, it’s still the heavy weapons company, but once we secure power, we will be able to change the function right away.”

Park's remarks came during the questioning of Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Ahn Gyu-baek that day. Ahn suggested, "Our military is currently operating 81mm mortars as their main force in the case of firearms platoons and heavy weapons companies," and "How about reorganizing them into 'drone firearms companies' using this organization as is?"

The Army has completed the design to reorganize the current firearms companies and heavy weapons companies into the so-called 'dronebot (drone/robot) companies.' Using drones and robots instead of mortars is expected to significantly enhance the mobility of our military.

The effective range of these mortars is about 2-3km, but the 60mm weighs about 20kg and the 81mm weighs over 40kg. The Army explains that instead of infantry units running around carrying mortars, attack drones can strike at longer distances with precision.

Since drones require less manpower than mortars, they are also expected to be a solution to the problem of decreasing troop resources due to changes in population structure. The Army plans to complete a manned-unmanned composite combat system by deploying drones and robots to battalion-level units and below, and also organize new units in charge of space information, cyber, electromagnetic, and cognitive warfare.

육군이 대대급 이하 부대에서 운용하는 60㎜·81㎜(구경) 박격포 가운데 노후화된 화기를 공격용 드론으로 바꾸는 방안을 사실상 확정한 것으로 확인됐다. 육군 보병 부대에서 60㎜ 박격포는 화기 중대, 81㎜ 박격포는 중화기 중대에서 운용하는 주요 전력이다.

박안수 육군참모총장(대장)은 17일 충남 계룡대에서 열린 육군본부에 대한 국회 국방위원회 국정감사를 통해 "박격포를 드론으로 (전환)하는 운영을 현재 구상 중"이라며 이같이 밝혔다.

박 총장은 "육군이 미래 군 구조를 만들었는데 중화기 중대의 60㎜·81㎜ 박격포를 드론으로 바꾸는 것이 만들어져 있다"며 "지금 전력이 안 되니깐 아직 중화기 중대인데 전력이 확보되면 바로 기능을 바꿀 수 있을 것"이라고 말했다.

박 총장의 발언은 이날 안규백 더불어민주당 의원 질의 과정에서 나왔다. 안 의원은 "우리 군이 현재 화기 소대와 중화기 중대의 경우 81㎜ 박격포를 주요 전력으로 운영하고 있다"며 "이 편제를 그대로 활용해 '드론 화기 중대'로 재편하는 것이 어떠냐"고 제안했다.

육군은 현재 화기 중대와 중화기 중대를 가칭 '드론봇(드론·로봇) 중대'로 재편하는 설계를 완료했다. 박격포 대신 드론과 로봇을 활용하면 우리 군의 기동성 등이 한층 강화될 것으로 보인다.

이들 박격포의 유효 사거리는 약 2~3㎞이지만 무게는 60㎜가 약 20㎏이고 81㎜는 40㎏이 넘는다. 보병부대가 박격포를 들고 달리는 대신 공격용 드론이 더 먼 거리를 정밀 타격할 수 있다는 게 육군의 설명이다.

드론은 박격포보다 운용인력이 덜 필요한 만큼 인구구조 변화에 따른 병력자원 감소 문제 해법도 될 수 있을 전망이다. 육군은 대대급 이하 부대에 드론·로봇 등을 투입해 유무인 복합전투체계를 완성하고 우주정보와 사이버·전자기·인지전 담당부대도 새로 편성할 예정이다.
