Russian Su-57 Aircraft Thread (PAK-FA and IAF FGFA)

Again via „Life of Tyo“ / Secret Projects Forum some footage I haven‘t seen so far so clear:
„I remembered something, 10 years ago in 2014 the T-50-5 prototype caught fire after landing after engine failure“
And here even the video:

So, a 2-D nozzle like the F-22 but slanted?. Unless that thing also rotates
In restrospect, it just seems to be slanted at the same angle the Su-30/Su-35's TVC are and tend to move so no need for any rotation
What're the reasons for the slant? The 2D vector nozzle on the F-22 do not have such slants.
With slanting, the 2d vectoring dual engines could trick 3d vectoring moves, saving weight and complexity. You gain yaw control.
F-22 can only roll and pitch with that setup, yaw could be possible only while using thrust difference between engine.

What @Atomicfrog said. This is how the Flankers do TVC as well, they are not fully 3D vectoring nozzles but 2D that move at an angle to achieve 3D vectoring.
Seems the images come from a documentary over Sukhoi and Mig anniversary which also includes more details on the HMD for the Su-57
