The first part if your comment doesn’t make sense.
And a tank in a cage like this is pretty much useless already. Kinetic or heat rounds won’t get stopped by an anti drone cage. It is a massive target with atrocious visibility and an engine that is already underpowered without adding tons of extra weight. And if the barrel is fucked it can’t even be used as indirect fire support.
So just by having them put on this ridiculous thing they already limit the tanks capabilities massively.

It’s just a thick metal tube, and it’s designed to have explosions in it normally. Your drone might simply make dents, and if not the crew will still be safe and mobile to get back to base for repair. Then it can go back out and keep fighting.
Being out there and sending a drone is of course not risk-free for the attackers, and the reward is so much less than the hardkill they’d get without the cage being in the way.

Compared to the tank, it’s not going to weigh much. It’s pretty typical to add stuff on to your armour. The visibility thing is legit though, and you can see they’ve tried to retain as much as possible.
It’s a hearty metal part, and well isolated from the much more expensive rest of the vehicle.
Like, maybe that would work and force them to go back for repairs, but it doesn’t obviously nullify the design.

Are kinetic or heat rounds the primary threat these tanks face?
Know what else massively limits a tanks capabilities? Being destroyed by a drone.
Ok, internet warrior
We all are.
