The only thing i want to point was that modern warheads will be more succesfull against SLAT. RPG-29 has for example thin precursor that will go thru the cage.Heavy ATGM weights around 10-25Kg so it will have much bigger punch,Mavericks, Hellfires, Sthurm Krisantemas or Kornets will be imune, they are quite big to be catched in the cage, Maverick has for example high explosive warhead and not HEAT, so it will be dangerous even for heavy armored tanks

The hellfire is also top-hitting as well as most other modern ATGM´s. The cage is good for disrupting the effect of shaped charges, makes them go of earlier and losing their penetration. That is why most modern HEAT rounds have tandem warheads, mostly to defeat reactive armour but that would probably counter this ugly SLAT thing as well.
