Tanks were designed and built long before drones entered the picture. They were designed to defeat more traditional attacks. Tanks also have to maneuver so weight is a major concern. One of the tradeoffs made a long time ago is the armor on all tanks is uneven.
The front and sides of the tanks where most incoming fire came from from were made extra thick. The top and rear of the tank are much thinner.
Drones attack tanks from the top or the rear. They mostly use an RPG HEAT munition that can easily penetrate the thinner armor in the weak spots.
Cages are an attempt to keep the drones away from the tanks weak spot long enough for them to run away.
Do you have a link to a drone that needs to land to set off a tank penetrating HEAT round. Not to drop a HEAT round, because the wires wouldn’t stop that, one that has to land first.
