Prob due to launchers not being ready to fire, when engagement is needed it will prob raise up to 90 degrees and fire.
Every single Siper (B1 and B2) launch we have seen so far have been angled.

Perhaps they are angled eastwards, or west depending on scenario.

I imagine our AD will be angled in the direction of the threat

This is a personal guess. The target generally approaches from a specific sector; they likely set a specific launch angle to increase the missile's energy and extend its range.

If this angle allows for fuel savings, the missile will still head toward the target even if it approaches from the opposite direction.
