Don’t know how much it is the camera but it seems to turn quickly for an aircraft of its size, especially considering that the banking angle is so low…
I do wonder if that was deliberate, in terms of the plane's programming and the configuration of the tailfins. Keeping a more level flight during a turn would help avoid exposing the highly reflective 'flat' of the plane's belly like it would during an aggressive bank.

If you have to do aggressive banking probably the last thing to worry about is
RCS profile lol.
