Pretty much as in the title.  If the uplatch for either gear leg is destroyed, that gear leg will drop.  However as I understand, even if the latch is destroyed, the motor for the gear leg will operate in order to keep that gear held up....even if it's not locked.
At the moment, either the motors are somehow broken automatically when uplatches are, or the motors simply don't function once the gear was successfully raised once.

An example for what I'd expect would occur is the Dora.  For the Dora within DCS, if you destroy or disable the uplatches for both gear legs, the gear will remain up and retracted.  The load on the motors will also increase if you pull intense G-loads, and this will actually cause the gear's weight to overcome the strength of the motors, and the gear will momentarily peak out, before retracting back up when the aircraft stops pulling G.
All of this isn't the case with the Anton, as of now.

Of a slightly different note, it seems that the Dora's gear motors also don't burn out.  You can destroy the D9's uplatches, causing the motors to constantly run, and they will continuously operate for at least 40 minutes.  I haven't tested it for a longer period of time.  But this is, again, on a slightly different note.

I'm away from my PC for some time, but conveniently the track for the A8 in here will work perfectly.  To drop individual gears, for the A8 I used soley the L/R Uplatch Unlocked failures available from the ME.  And in this track, the failure timing is deliberately staggered as well.

Will also attach that track to this message as well 

 

A8 left gear and all gear down.trk
