I think it depends on if you hit the ship before the tank/bot has started dropping. If you can hit it while it's still completely on the ship, I think it works. At the very least, I've seen tank corpses stuck in mid-air after the ship goes down.

The Black Tide series has something similar that they use to clear out zombies. It's carried by helicopter with the shield protecting upwards, and it makes noise and flashes lights to attract the horde. They drop it off in the middle of an area they want to clear, and then pick it up a few weeks later.
