Mebbe, but unlikely. Every prior characterization of the Borg indicates that no drone which wasn't itself personally damaged in that one location of the cube would even have a thought in it's "head" about that structural damage.

How about a fleet of cloaked Dreadnoughts? That would sort those f*ckers out, surely?

Unnecessary. It's been canonically demonstrated that the Millennium Falcon can take out a cube single-handed.

You mean the extremely smart Cardassian missile seen from Voyager?
Dreadnought

Pity a simple detonator was enough to mess it up. Given how smart the AI was, it should have been able to figure out another option. Maybe talk to a Cardassian officer, to get its detonator repaired/replaced?

That's the one! Unfortunately, half a glass of kanar and it was all over the place and the AI started calling you it's best mate.
