No sense of history. Armored vehicles often had a birdcage style protective shield. Not very sophisticated. Look at the ww2 photos. Tanks can be found with bed springs and sandbags. The idea was to allow the panzerfaust or rocket to detonate before contact with vehicle hull.
As always all things old are new again.

Except that the layer of steel severely limits visibility and situational awareness. Also, there’s a link where Ukraine flew a drone UNDER a tank to take out the soldiers hiding there.
