Hi,
 
Yes, but usually not in standard QGIS map display.
 
QGIS displays the SAR file in map coordinates, so it resamples the original slanted radar geometry into a regular square-pixel grid.
That is why the image looks horizontal/vertical.
 
To keep the original SAR slanted appearance and native pixel spacing, you generally need to view it in its native geometry using SAR software such as ESA SNAP, rather than as a geocoded raster in QGIS.
 
Best regards,
Vladimir
