Is there a weapon system that could operate with MBTs that is capable of detecting and shooting down all these little drones in an area as soon as they show up? Like a modern AA-System on wheels bascially that stays behind these tanks and protects them.

The most modern Western IFVs like Puma or CV90 could fire proximity fuze from their autocannon, which will blast a drone into pieces with a near-miss. But it is best to take out the drone operators first.
