The first part if your comment doesn’t make sense.
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.
It is a massive target with atrocious visibility and an engine that is already underpowered without adding tons of extra weight.
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.
