Do you see anywhere on that machine that 10 HOURS of 50 cal ammo could sit? Along with a battery pack or even fuel tank that would last a week?

Most importantly, these machines are not even needed to fight for 10 hours. It would be perfectly acceptable if they can fight for 30 minutes as a group, with up to 1,000 rounds per gun. The reinforcements cannot be farther away than that.

If these robots are intended for guard duty, they don't need to patrol continuously. Patrolling is useful only when you don't have enough sentries. Everything else in a moving patrolman is a disadvantage. A robot could remain motionless during most of the shift, running on batteries - and that won't require too much energy. In the active phase the robot could start a small gasoline engine; then it would have enough power to move around.

At 400 rounds per minute, 10 hours would be 240,000 rounds.

That’s a whole lot of weight and bulk.

2,285 standard 50 cal boxes.

The ammunition supply appears to be the box on the right. It could hold maybe 2000 rounds of belt-feed. Enough to hold out until reinforcements show up.

Hardly 10 hours worth. That's just marketing hype by the Russian arms industry lobbyists.
