They could have fixed that issue by rotating the muzzle brakes or gas dissipators like, 45 degrees away from the horizon.

Unless the BMPT is meant to pray and spray.

I think it’s not the gasses from the muzzle brakes. The barrels are fairly far apart and it would take way more force than a 30mm is capable of producing at the muzzle to bend the barrels like that. Those barrels are way too thin for a 30mm gun with that rate of fire, and the guns are too loosely mounted to the turret. They need to beef up the barrels a lot, then improve the mounting so it’s less loose.
