Why not just shoot it out of an artillery gun and have it parachute in? I doubt you're getting a lot of range on that drone and artillery shells can be as big as like 150 kg for ground based artillery. a robodog with a gun and parachute is probably less than 100 kg. Just have a massed robodog barrage, shooting a hundred of these little fuckers out.
I suppose you could just deploy these off of atvs though so you could get a presumably useless gun dog deep in enemy territory for cheap

If you shoot it out of a gun the cargo has to withstand all the acceleration before it leaves the barrel.

No problem, we'll just use a low velocity mortar that fires a robot dog mounting a smaller low velocity mortar that fires a smaller robot dog mou

You could secure it in the shell with a suspension along the shell, harden the robot, and pack it in gel. muzzle velocity on a 203mm is up to 600 m/s and they make shells that have rocket boosters in them, i think you could get a robodog in there

way harder to hit something in motion though. instead of leading your target, you have to aim at where it will have had been going to be
