There is obviously both a vertical and horizontal bend in the intakes. There are also radar reflecting panels inside the intakes
The horizontal bend/non-allignment can be seen clearly from this angle (click to enlarge)
And here’s the view from the front
The problem with some people is that they cannot comprehend a different technical solution.
If they wanted to have a classic S-bend they would’ve gone with this solution:
What is Vityaz never heard of it ? Any information on specs ?
There’s a description here (pdf)

The ‘Mars’ mobile radar project might be part of the S-500.
Here’s a rough translation of what the commander of the Space Forces Anatoly Perminov told RIA novosti a while back.
The RTI have made substantial groundwork for promising mobile, high-grade multifunction radar (MARS) working in decimetric waveband.
It is designed to detect and determine the parameters of the movement of missiles, space and hypersonic targets at ranges up to 2000 km and the simultaneous guidance of interceptor missiles on target.
It feautures a digital adaptive phased antenna array, which in various modifications can be connected with various other radars (ground and airborne)
