Is there any detailed information out there and/or any videos dealing with the MM40Block3's new launch-booster?

Looks like a filament winding machine, producing the missile bodies . . .

Saw the Exocet Block 3 launch in the above video.... I am amazed at how sharp a right turn it made just after launch while the booster was still burning .....

Is the booster equipped with TVC? I do not recall that there is TVC used on Exocet booster, and is it possible to achieve such high G turn using aerodynamic fins alone??
