Can a drone make a heroic contribution? Is the style of this sentence acceptable to Chinese ears? What is heroic about a drone?
无论是在生活还是救援等工作中，无人机都立下汗马功劳。
Can a drone 'make a heroic contribution'??
Or 汗马功劳 here just means:工作中的贡献, basically just 'contributions, achievements'?
Maybe she is just using flowery language?? I should forget the 'war hero exploits' implication?
无论是在生活还是救援等工作中，无人机都立下汗马功劳。

it’s very bad, the assumption &amp; consideration behind the sentence.
even if we think of personification (擬人), treat a drone as a human being. then,

do we glorify a train in daily transportation?
a rocket in space mission?
a pen / typewriter in award-winning novel writing?

these’re tools. the quoted sentence only praises the drone, ignoring the factor-workers who made them, the operators to control on site.
it’s these people who make contributions &amp; achievements.
stop of rant :)
