The turn I mean happens almost IMMEDIATELY after clearing the launch tube. This
rather RECENT trick seems to involve a swiveling exhaust, uncommon for solid
propellants I was thinking.
See some of the S400 SAM launches:

seems to depend on something not clear to me as not all launches do this turn
ballet.

Any rocket launched straight up will seem to turn. The earth is rotating at

Why do recent interceptor and cruise missiles make an almost 90° turn
towards the horizontal after vertical launch?
