Why "cope cages" on tanks do NOT work:

In recent years, metal cupolas nicknamed "cope cages" have been seen attached to the top of tanks in various countries in a constant state of war like Russia, Ukraine, Myanmar, Israel, and Syria in the advent of the proliferation of top attack antitank munitions and drone delivered EFP mines that target a tank's most vulnerable part, the thinly armored top. The idea behind the cages is to provide space for an EFP blast to lose enough of it's velocity that it would not be able to penetrate the vehicle after a certain range. In reality though, an EFP blast is like a superpowered plasma shotgun delivering a blast of molten metal droplets at velocities of up to 23,000 FEET PER SECOND. A few additional feet of space around an EFP blast does absolutely nothing to mitigate the sheer force behind the directed explosion, as this slow motion shot of a TOW missile versus a modern MBT shows:




The only thing in existence so far that has proved to be able to counteract an EFP attack is explosive-reactive armor.
