Is this a good defense? I've seen similar cages on the Russian armor but have heard it's ineffective.
I wouldn't say it's ineffective, it's does give the vehicle a chance to escape a drone attack.
From the videos, Ukraine is knocking out equipment by sending multiple drones. The first few take out the drone defenses, clearing the way for later drones to hit the armor and destroy the vehicle. If the vehicle can escape before the drone defenses are breached the defenses are definitely worth it.
