I know what it is it tells in a clear manner that their default armor couldn't withstand these weapons. It tells that despite their armor they are vulnerable and necessitate the 'chicken cage' installed.
The slat armor are originally intended for light armor vehicles such as the Stryker combat systems. Their use into MBTs tell a loud message that MBTs are vulnerable too. ANd MBTs have only been donned these 'chicken cage' armors recently (well under 10 years time) and it was more like an emergency response to a sudden realization that AT weapons are catching up faster than what the experts had expected.
