Pretty sure they’re just moving around due to the recoil of the gun firing.

Why would they be kitted out for urban survival when they are stationed in Tibetan wilderness during peace time?
In the 4th image, is it an optical illusion or do those tanks have additional armor on the sides? I've always assumed that those holes on the side hull were meant for ERA or composite modules to be bolted onto, and those holes just so happen to be absent in that particular image. If it is indeed additional composite modules or ERA mounted, it is IIRC the first time it has been seen with it (although previously the VT5 was also seen with additional side armor on the hull).More images from Tibet.

They don't appear to have additional modules. That image is too small, compressed, and grainy to make out the bolt holes.
