Given the experience from previous bug reports, perhaps the topic should have been opened in the "Not a Bug" section, but...

So, looks like Defender and Destroyer robots exceed intended flight speed.

Deploy capsule and jump to car/train/etc.
Issue: The robots' flight speed is approximately 100 km/h.
Expected Behavior: Their speed should be approximately ~7 km/h (research depended).

I think they behavior should be like construction/logistics robots (their speed looks fine).

That is not a bug.

Defender and Destroyer with rated speed ~7km/h overtaking Construction robot with a higher specified rated speed (~40km/h) looks strange...

The “flying speed” of combat robots is simply their wandering speed when the player is stationary. They always keep up with the player by design and will get a speed boost appropriate to do so.
