It's already being done. Check out these Russian improvised "Turtle Tanks"[1]. A big, light, metal canopy to keep drones from exploding next to the tank.

It's the evolution of the 'cope cage' that grew out of the shortage of active armor plates.

Ukraine hunted that tank down and destroyed it by drone, btw.
