Mantis B against fleeing ship?

[baiselmareo6]

When a rebel ship is charging its ftl, would 2 mantises (or other boarders, now that we are on the discussion) have time to destroy an engine before it jumps away? I just died in sector 1 as my boarder drone failed at destroying their engine, the rebel ship jumped, and the rebel fleet caught up with me.
