A stealth arrow makes a drift in a curved line :



documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{calc}
begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}

draw[thick,-stealth]
($(0,0)+(0:1.45)$) arc
[start angle=0,
end angle=72,
radius=1.45] ;

draw[thick,red]
($(0,0)+(0:1.45)$) arc
[start angle=0,
end angle=72,
radius=1.45] ;

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

          This is not specific to this arrow head. All arrow heads do. This is because you force a piece of a curved path to be straight, and this deforms the path.



          You can use bending to cure this. It will rotate the arrow in such a way that the path does not get distorted.



          documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
          usetikzlibrary{calc,bending}
          begin{document}

          begin{tikzpicture}

          draw[thick,-stealth]
          ($(0,0)+(0:1.45)$) arc
          [start angle=0,
          end angle=72,
          radius=1.45] ;

          draw[thick,red]
          ($(0,0)+(0:1.45)$) arc
          [start angle=0,
          end angle=72,
          radius=1.45] ;

          end{tikzpicture}

          end{document}


          enter image description here



          Notice that for this you do not have to explicitly bend the arrow.



          If you bend it, then the arrow will follow the curve (to a very good approximation).



          documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
          usetikzlibrary{calc,arrows.meta,bending}
          begin{document}

          begin{tikzpicture}

          draw[thick,-{Stealth[bend]}]
          ($(0,0)+(0:1.45)$) arc
          [start angle=0,
          end angle=72,
          radius=1.45] ;

          draw[thick,red]
          ($(0,0)+(0:1.45)$) arc
          [start angle=0,
