At least Ukrainian cope cages don’t look like something 40k Orks would slap on a Leman Russ
Not sure what this is trying to accomplish, obviously it is trying to predetonate a HEAT round, but does that really defeat the kind of munitions mounted on drones in Ukraine?
Well, I dont know physics equations, but one of them is that force goes down either exponentially or logarithmically with increased distance. If they are detonated further away, even by a small amount, it can make a big difference
Err well for HEAT rounds, the lethality comes from the warhead on say an RPG, detonating when it hits tank armor and sending a highly pressurized explosive jet that projects out the front of the warhead and into and through the tank armor into the interior.
With more sophisticated models of RPG and other shoulder launched HEAT rockets though, causing this jet to form 8 inches back from the actual surface of the tank armor doesn’t really help and can make it worse in some ways (depending on the design of the HEAT munition it might actually help the munition defeat a vehicle’s armor).

Looks way better then what Russia is doing with those strom drain grates.
Looks like they're specifically trying to protect the magazine.

Have there been any combat losses of the m1a1 to drones in Ukraine?
A few, they actually pulled them from the front reportedly but i guess now they're back with added protection
